      2 units in our block of 6 have had their balconies enclosed. The enclosing happened after the building was completed but before the current owners bought their units. There do not appear to be any by-laws to approve the work done but suspect there was approval granted. The SP was registered around 1971.

      One of the units has major water issues whenever it rains. The other unit has issues on the odd occasion when the rain is quite heavy. There is a quote being considered by the OC to render the external brickworks amongst other things that will require scaffolding. The cost is significant. Is this something the OC must pay or do the individual unit owners have to pay for their share of the cost and the OC pay for the common property matters?

      When looked at in the past, it was noted by builders quoting for the OC that the unit “has leaky windows where the balconies have been enclosed, this design cannot withstand the heavy rain and no action is required.” Does this mean the individual owner is responsible for fixing the leaks?

      If the leaks originate from problems in the common property, is it all the OCs cost?
