[200William-EC SP67851] Water penetration from deck 7

Mon Jun 16 13:19:34 EST 2014

Good Afternoon All

It appears the tarp has been removed from the wall. The markings of the tarp are still there. 

I will reinstate this afternoon.

Hello Maxine and EC members,

I apologize for this seemingly 'redundant' appeal about water penetration into my apartment, but this is how the wall (level 7) was left over the weekend during the rain, after someone had worked on it (please see attached pictures). Thankfully no water came into my property which is still without a proper ceiling in the main bedroom and only concrete floor in the hallway.
There is always a draft as a result.

Even the 8 year foster child I look after on weekends thought it 'stupid'
that the level 7 wall was left opened and someone should have covered it properly.  His bedroom is adjacent to the inside damage in my apartment.

Would someone from the EC kindly take action as soon as possible as this matter is dragging on with no solution.  How long does it really take to get a quote, complete this task (and at least cover up the wall when rain is expected or falling)?  

Kindly also provide me with an update to my email dated June 5 (which included pictures) regarding the water dripping down onto my terrace from above from the garden bed area and the damage as a result.  Thank you in advance for your response.

Best regards,
Craig Laforest

Hello Maxine,
I refer to my email (with attached pictures) below and haven't had a response.  Would you kindly provide me with an update as soon as possible.
I think you'll agree, this water debacle is ridiculous.
Thank you and regards,
Craig Laforest

Hello Maxine,

I'm attaching some pictures of the water which is still penetrating from the garden beds on deck 7 and creates stains on the tiles on my terrace below (please see attached).  Even after weeks of sunshine, the water leaks through.  I have witnessed the same water problems on the area above Diana Dennison's terrace - the lip of the overhead above the terrace is stained.

Finally, it appears that the contractor "may" have found the water entry into my apartment from deck 7 (outside) also from where the flashing on the deck has not been continued up the side of the wall and water literally pours down the wall, hits the area where the wall touches the deck and the result is.....water comes down into my apartment.

This has been a recurring problem over the years and I recommend that the EC looks at a full-time solution to these water leakage matters.  We've had the garden beds emptied and the membrane on both sides of the building inside the beds repaired.  However, the problem is back again and the tiles on my terrace will have to be lifted up and replaced.  I'm very concerned that, over time the flat deck on level 7 will continue to have to be repaired.

I look forward to a response from yourself and/or the property manager, George Ziri to repair the damage to my terrace and overhead roof area.

Thank you and kind regards,
Craig Laforest
