Dear Committee,
Please see the below email from Craig, the Owner of Unit 601 in relation to the NCAT (Tribunal) Orders for repairs to the areas causing water ingress to the balcony area and other associated maintenance items.
Please see below answers in red from Craig in relation to Lee from Cost In Roe's response to attending site to inspect.
Craig is obviously upset with the progress and feels the matter and repairs undertaken late in 2015 have made the issue worse and require urgent attention.
Craig's has asked me to seek some direction from you about this matter and would like for you to advise the Building Manager, myself and the Engineers to attend to the matter urgently to have further repairs undertaken to stop further water leaking.
Please advise on the above urgently?
Kind regards,
Patrick Rush

Hi William,
I have attached some photographs taken on the 22nd December 2015 on my last site visit.
Whilst the bubbling is worse in your photographs, it is not dramatically so.
The area of bubbling and water dropping onto my terrace is 3 times more than prior to the works being carried out recently by the contractor. In addition, the water has a dirt/rust colour which is staining everywhere below the overhang. The water is dropping through at a considerable rate 24/7 regardless of whether there is any rain. This has been the same problem for the last 8 years.
I would suggest we wait a bit longer before getting the painter back to patch the effected areas.
The area doesn't need patching - we need to expose where the water is coming from/through ie its source.
The bubbling and efflorescence appears to be mostly confined the slab edge which is in keeping with my theory.
The rust staining on the paint bubbles is concerning as it indicates corrosion of reinforcement in the concrete.
Again, why would we patch if rust staining is coming through?! Patching cannot be completed quickly enough from the amount of water which is forcing its way through. As is currently happening patching only sends the water in a different direction within the wall frame and subsequently water drops through from a new area.
As discussed we had a job in Mosman awhile back with a similar issue. The planter box has seven layers of membrane installed and yet the water persisted. It turned out to be coming under the planter box from the terrace area. There may be a similar issue here, although in my opinion there would should also be water penetration visible on the soffit of the slab as the slab edge if this was the case.
It should be noted that this is not water penetration into Unit 601. It is merely
(merely??) water dripping off the slab edge over the balcony, which would be expected anyway, at least when it rains. Again, the water drips constantly 24/7 even when there is NO rain. The issue is the efflorescence and rust staining on the tiles and furniture.
I have confirmed in previous email correspondence to the Strata Manager that I will take the Body Corporate once taken to Tribunal. Unless I receive confirmation by February 16 that another way of handling this matter is to take place, I will follow through with the Tribunal.
I have been advised by the representatives of the Tribunal that severe penalties will be charged to the owners if the original order by the Tribunal is not once and for all carried out.
Craig Laforest
