Hello,
Does anyone know what happens if an owner has blocked access to a common property riser that houses gas, telephone and water for the building. This has happened in our building when an owner renovated her bathroom tiling over access to the pipes. The Strata Manager says; “All new renovation will be the Lot owners however in the case that a renovation was done and approved by the EC without providing the instruction then it is a Strata Issue.”
My take on this situation is that if the owner wanted to block access she should have requested permission to do this from the owners. Common sense suggests that the access door was there for a reason. How can a bunch of non-professionals (EC) even know to state the obvious? This ‘mistake’ by the EC could cost the owners over $100k as many renovators have done the same thing. Why should owners pay for such a dumb act?
Looking forward to your comments.
