    I hope you can help, we too are in an older 20 year building of 61 units. The compressors for the split cycle air conditioning units have always been placed on the roof for noise and appearance purposes. All replacements have remained on the roof. We have no by laws that address this particularly, relying on the law of no structural changes can be made to the building without the approval of the executive committee. Cooperation has prevailed. Until now. A recent new owner has installed her compressor on the balcony with the accompanying noise for the neighbours. She has been asked to remove it to the roof and she refuses. She states she is appealing this decision at an ACT “tribunal” . Could you give us any guidance on what we need to do to maintain the peace and appearance of our building. Thank you.
