Good afternoon all
I concur with the comments ofGeorge and to monitor the situation.
The Engineers comment is paramount in that there is no penetration of water into 601. Rain water will obviously flow from any building onto common properties.

What would you like us to do exactly ? We cant go up and fix it ourselves. There is no money in the budget to rebuild the building. What do we need to do to comply with the orders of the Tribunal.

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.

> 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
