    Whale – not sure why it is irrelevant?  The point is was trying to make – and obviously failed to make! – is that it is likely that every owner would be a customer, and so the Service Rules would mean that it is the responsibility of every owner – and not just the OC – to ensure that the switchroom is cleaned etc etc.  I was hoping to communicate the principle that this issue, like many others, is a collective individual responsibility and cannot be dumped solely at the feet of the EC/OC,and that no single owner can passively absent themselves from responsibility for this matter.

    A lot of people in this forum complain about their EC/OC – and often with good reason, it would seem – but many owners seem to believe that ALL of the responsibility for things of this nature sits with the EC and/or OC.

    In any case, I'm not looking for a dispute, just some clarity, some opinions!

    But while I'm here,and seeing as you appear to have a strong view, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the following electrical switchroom item – our bldg is an older bldg and the switchroom house the EA meters and the main fuses for each of the units.  Is that main fuse the responsibility of the lot owner or the OC?  The fuse is for the sole benefit of the lot but is housed in common property. The most practical concern is what happens if the main fuse for any apartment blows – who is supposed to fix it?   Any thoughts?
