My wife has just purchased a ground floor unit in NSW in a small block and we have a newborn.
The kitchen and bathroom are in a filthy run down state infested with cockroaches, black mould and the meter box in the kitchen cabinet has friable asbestos.Consequently we put in application of our intention to do a standard renovation.
The SM has come back with a list of demands basically wanting to know every nut and bolt including all appliances bathtub, vanities, shower screens, tiles, lights stating they are all connected to common property in some way.
Additionally, If we want timber floating floors he will only except gold standard underlay with a silicon bead around the walls or they will take us to teh tribunal.
We have mentioned that the top floor unit has timber floors as we can hear them and asked for the details of their flooring and a copy of their renovations including all plans vanities basins etc but he won’t provide them stating that he can’t give out other owners information.
He stated that if they agree the SC will aprrove our renovations, not the OC at a GM
Upon checking the by-laws there are no renovation or flooring by- laws nor any by law stating the SC can approve or disprove our renovations or that we need to give specifications of fixtures.
Does anybody know if we can we have the kitchen condemned as a health and safety risk and have the strata pay to fix it as its connected the common property as he states and original condition. Also do we really need to provide a list of fixures inclusings brands models etc?
