    Thank you  The building is less than 5 years old.  The original builder went into liquidation. A subsequent builder finished the odds and ends still requiring completion which were mostly internal jobs so the roof pitch would have been part of the original builder.  I think this fault should be covered by our Common Property Strata insurance.  For some unknown reason, the Executive Committee are not bringing them into play.  I do not understand the incompetency of the Executive Committee or their reasons for not bringing in the Insurance Assessor to look at the roof fault. Of course, we as Owners have given the Executive Committee our approval to make decisions on behalf of the Owners Corporation.  I can understand why now the neighbour above me will have to take her own private action to NCAT and I will have to do the same as I have emailed the Strata Manager 18 months ago that my common property wall running the length of my apartment is suffering water penetration. I was not aware of what was occuring to the apartment above my head until last week. It is galling to think an unprofessional body calling themselves an Executive Committee can get away with something like this for so long. A total of $1,000,000.00 in property value is being affected by the decisions of an unprofessional few (5 members are on the EC).  They did not mention anything to me of the problems occuring in the apartment above me though they were aware of my water penetration concerns.  Something needs to be done to ensure our assets (that is anyone who owns a Strata unit) are not affected by such incompetence! I’m gobsmacked to say the least.  My neighbour could not sell her unit in the current state. Not that she wants to, but if she did, she would have serious issues.  I appreciate your feedback, knowledge and experience in this matter.  Thank you very much for clarifying.
