hi
we have just moved into our new apartment 3 months ago.
numnerous issues with the developer – wont go into that as it does my head in but we are at OFT.
as a retaliation, the developer is trying to blame us for the fact that he has not been able to get an occupancy certificate for the building despite the fact that the building was first occupied in March 2012.
We made two changes to the apartment:
1. we frosted the clear glass windows looking into a balcony (the balcony is on our title) – we obtained approval from the EC and we stated to the EC in writing that we would be responsible for any maintenance involved in the future. The frosting is on the inside of the glass, on our side.
2. on the same balcony, we removed the balustrade and enclosed the balcony with clear glass. The balcony is behind a huge metal awning that runs the entire height of the building, so there is no change to the look of the building. The frame for the enclosure is on the part of the balcony that is on our title. Again, this was signed off by the EC. and again we stated that we are responsible for any maintenance.
where do we stand with the developer? is he right in that we are affecting the occ certificate?
can he make us remove the frosting and the enclosure?
another unit holder has partitioned his bedroom and he also has received a similar notice from the developer. the ridiculous thing is that the developer did the partition for him.
bottom line, the developer is trying to put the heat on the unit owners to stop us from going to OFT and legal.
thanks for the advice!!
regards
