I live in the basement of a Sydney Art Deco building and my ceiling is a concrete slab that is also the floor of the unit above (and part of the foyer). The wiring to my bedroom ceiling light failed and inspection by an electrician showed that the failure was in the insulation on the old VIR wiring which runs through a conduit in the ceiling.
I was unsure whose responsibility this is so searched online and read (including in these forums) that it’s the responsibility of the OC. I took this to our strata manager who replied that I was misunderstanding what I’d read and that, because the wiring only serves one unit, it’s my responsibility, and that I should feel free to repair it, including chiselling into the concrete if that’s necessary.
So now I’m confused: does my ceiling constitute a “common wall”? If it does, is the wiring the OC’s responsibility? And if it is, can someone please refer me to an authoritative source that I can use to further argue my case with the strata manager?
Thanks in advance.
