Our owners corp resolved at an EGM to paint our foyers.
The painters have done a shocking job. There’s a large paint spill on the carpet, paint splashes and drips on bare brickwork, overruns, some of the doors not painted properly, masking tape still left in place – just simply, a very sloppy job.
There are now at least 7 owners who are absolutely furious about the standard of workmanship, but our 2-member EC is being arrogant in the extreme about the entire situation.
- they have already paid the painters
- they refuse to get the painters back out to look at the issues
- they will not release the name of the contractor who did the work
- they will not provide copies of their comparative quotes obtained
- they will not tell us what the job costed
- they have denied an urgent request to have our strata manager attend our site for an inspection of the problems – and said it costs too much and therefore “we can pay for it ourselves”.
- they have denied an urgent (no-cost) meeting on site to inspect the problems with concerned owners. They say they will do this in “February” at the earliest !!
We are confused about why the committee is being so arrogant and protecting this contractor. The whole thing was rushed done with such urgency (“must be done by December”) why? Some of us our now wondering if this contractor is somebody’s friend.
What do people propose we do about this situation? It was my understanding that owners have a right to information.
Thanks in advance.
