You might like to look at s65(2)
(2) An owners corporation may, by its agents, employees or contractors, enter on any part of the parcel for the purpose of determining whether any work is required to be carried out by the owners corporation in accordance with this Act.
and then refer to s64(1).
(1) An owners corporation may carry out such work as is necessary to rectify any of the following defects:
(a) any structural defect in any part of a building comprised in a lot that affects or is likely to affect the support or shelter provided by that lot for another lot in the building or the common property,
(b) any defect in any pipe, wire, cable or duct that provides, or through which passes, any water, sewage, drainage, gas, electricity, garbage, artificially heated or cooled air, heating oil or other service (including telephone, radio or television services) within a lot.
If you believe there maybe a defect (64(1)) due to the unauthorized work then s65(2) should get you in the door to inspect for defects.
You should try to convince the OC it is in the OCs best interest to check things out because if issues occur in the future it may be much more difficult to seek a suitable remedy. The OC may get left holding the bag for expenses for a matter it can address here and now.
