[200William-EC SP67851] Water penetration - apartment 402

To the members of the EC and (in particular) Mr Beves,

The water problem into Mr. Beves property has to be repaired.

How ironic, however, that he is now putting forward his case of water
ingress AFTER I had problems with water ingress into my apartment. And he
ended up challenging me at the Tribunal  (after two Tribunal orders to
repair my kitchen area and the outside damage from level 7)!!

Hopefully you will learn something from this experience, Mr. Beves.

And also, to use the word 'excuse?' ( "Obviously the cheapest quote was
accepted by  EC with the excuse being that “we have no money” to do a
proper job").

Mr Beves, had you approached the EC in the proper manner and had you stated
that the matter had been really urgent at the time, you could have done
exactly what I did if you were not satisfied with their response (or should
I say 'excuse'?)...............and gone to the Tribunal.

To repeat my position.  Mr. Beves's water problem has to be repaired so
that he has no more ingress into his apartment.

Hi Guys



The issue of my balcony has been going on for years now.

I am aware that it will need approval of the EC and I shall be pleased if
this could be put to a vote immediately.

For the purposes of clarification for the EC it should be clearly advised
that the balcony was originally constructed without proper levelling for
the fall of water. As a result rain water pools at the living room doors
rather than flowing towards the exterior drains. A few years back this
caused a breakdown in the exterior floor membrane which penetrated into my
living rooms.   Quotes were obtained back then which were to:

1)      do a bandaid repair to fix the problem (which was the cheapest
quote); or

2)      do a proper job and repair the entire balcony, which included
re-levelling the floor surface to allow proper fall for rain water to
discharge. (This quote came in around $16,000 3 years ago)

Obviously the cheapest quote was accepted by  EC with the excuse being that
“we have no money” to do a proper job.



In the circumstances I request this matter be put to the EC for approval.



Many thanks

Brook

Hi Matt & Brook,


I will have to send to the Committee for their consideration.


*Darren, can you please organise repair to Matt’s ceiling.*



Form my experience this matter which will NOT be covered under insurance as
the damage was caused by wear and tear and is classified as a maintenance
item





Kind regards,

Hi Patrick,
 I dont think Brook and I can approve expense like that on own.  Would you
not need to have put  the rectification of the Balcony  to the EC ?

 In any case can the ceiling be fixed in my apartment now the repair has
been done and it's stopped leaking. It wont need to be opened again and as
it's water damage i assume it's insurance ?

Hi Brook,



I was under the impression that there has only been a temporary repair
undertaken, with the attached quotes required to be reviewed and one
approved before Matt’s ceiling replaced.


* Darren and Matt, can you please confirm?*

Hi Patrick



As you are aware Tony Tesserio supplied quotes for the
re-surfacing/levelling and re-tiling of my balcony as a result of water
pooling at my living room doors.

Having spoken with Matt this morning I am aware that the ceilling water
penetration into his bedroom (from my balcony above) appears to have been
fixed, but his bedroom ceiling is still awaiting to be repaired and made
good. This may well be an insurance issue causing delays.



Could you please indicate as to where these issues stand and when Tony
Tesserio may be scheduled to commence work on my balcony.



Many thanks

Brook
