Thank you, I will keep you informed of the outcome for the benefit of your fans.
I have not received a reply from my previous post. I have now sent an applicationto the Tribunal with I hope the correct Strata Section numbers.
The apartment above declined mediation and refused access for an acoustic test.
I am about to apply to the Tribuanl and I need to use the correct By-law numbers in my application.
Is the By-law for the loss of peaceful enjoyment (due to the noise) Section 232?And the By-law regarding the refusal of the Strata Manager to show records of the permission given By-law Section 188?
Thank you
After continuing obstruction and delays I finally offered to pay for an acoustic test to resolve the issue of noise transfer from the apt. above due to the installation of a timber floor replacing carpet.
This offer has been declined and the owner of the apt. above has refused access for a test.
The Strata Manager has offered to discuss the problem (I have been complaining for over a year) but I do not that he will answer the quiestions regarding legality of the floor and the by-laws breached.
Should I now take this matter to the Tribunal?
Could you please tell me if the kitchen floor and the hallway have to have the tiles removed from the slab by pneumatic drill to make room to fit a timber floor does this require a permission from the body corporate as it is drilling common property?
Thank you
I am finally having a mediation meeting at the Dept. Fair Trading.
If an acoustic test is suggested by the mediator who is responsible for the cost of the test and who selects the acoustic engineer?
Thank you
Lady Penelope,
It has been some time since I emailed but I have decided I now have to go to the Dept. Fair Trading.
I have typed out a complaint but if some way you could run an eye over it it may help greatly. I do not wish to put it here online as it contains names.
Is there any secure way I can send it to you?
Lady Penelope, Thank you for your prompt responses, it is heartiening to have somebody share our problem.
We beleive the works were carried out long after settlement. We be;leive they also ripped out the brand new kitchen cabinetry and replaced it!
I will now look up the laws that you have mentioned and study them.
I have listened to Flat Chat on the radio for ages and am happy I have joined to Forum. I hope I can make a contribution.
The drilling I referred to was my inadequate way of describing that they used pneumatic drilling to lower the slab floor level to accommadate the thicknes of the sound membrane and the dark oak floating floor. I am concerned that the soundproofing material is obviously not adequate to stop the noise transfer or the reduction of the thickness of the slab has contributed to the failure of the soundproofing. I believe from reading the forum etc. that there are companies that will tell you anything to sell you a product and in this case may be the soundproofing is not up to scratch. I also wonder if the slab could be compromised as regards thickness etc.
