[200WILLIAM-EC SP67851] SLIDING DOOR - LOUNGE ROOM

Wed Aug 14 11:06:15 AEST 2024

Hi Craig,

It sounds like, after investigating, this is not the door that was mentioned in the EGM but a different one. Also, according to the contractor, there is no reason why the door should fall off.

Granted, I was not at the EGM and have not been to your place with the group as I was out of town. So I may not be the best person to investigate this, but from what Greg tells me, the contractor has attended to it and it has been repaired. You indicated, however, that it's still an issue.

In any case, this sounds like a job for the building manager and the strata manager. They need to come up with a solution if needed and present it to the committee or advise that the door works satisfactorily or what needs to be done to make it work within the expected performance of a 15+ year old door.   As secretary really the only reason for me to call an EGM without consensus is to replace the strata manager as i did a few years ago and this is a residential strata matter so outside the scope of the BMC.

Warm Regards,
Matt.

The issue, as confirmed by five of the contractors is the warped frame and track. I have already had Matt G and Paul up into my apartment to witness the issue, together with Greg, our building manager.

If a special levy needs to be made, then that is unfortunate, but must be done. I cannot risk the door coming off the track again. This is a building safety issue.

For that to take place we would need an agenda with a solid proposal and costs to vote on. But by the sound of that last email it seems  like you just are after a committee meeting which can be organised by Sarah.

Matt G and Paul were very helpful in attending my apartment several weeks ago to see the issue and Paul came up again on August 4 after the door had come off the track. And no, the ‘people’ did not “fix the door”. The problem is a warped frame, which holds three large panels of glass. Confirmed by six contractors already.

It came off the track a week ago and continues to be impossible to open/close. It’s not feasible to keep waiting until we receive the details on the building repairs, to have this meeting. It wouldn’t take long. Kindly confirm.
