Here are the short videos for:

a) Proof that my web account at Waratah Strata STILL does not work, even as of 20 June 2018, and for the last two-three months or so.

b) Proof that ventilation is appallingly poor in one bathroom and laundry on 20 June 2018, and for the last month or so.

Forgot to mention:
I request that web logs be provided to prove how many failed attempts
and from which IP addresses they came for my account at Waratah Strata
over the three months.
If there were ANY successful logins since April 2018 - they were not
mine, which means somebody used my account illegally.
Thank you.

For more than three weeks now, at least one of the exhaust fans on roof
in Block A is failing to provide proper ventilation in Block A.
The smell coming through the vent quite often is unbearable, so much so
that we had to cover the two grilles in one bathroom and laundry room.
There was a commitment by maintenance staff on notice board that the
problem would be resolved within a week but that did not happen yet, or
the work was not done properly.
Please attend to it as a matter of urgency.
I note that my web account is still blocked three months after I
reported it and that Waratah Strata Management admitted obtaining access
to my private password without authority or disclosure (that was not the
default password but the one ONLY I SHOULD KNOW). This:
a) Discriminates against my family and me,
b) Prevents us from accessing strata files that are published on website,
c) Prevents us from accessing invoices for levy payments,
d) Prevents us from reviewing current balance sheet of strata plan,
e) Prevents us from reviewing current payments for our levies,
f) Possibly provides out web account details to third-party as there is
no evidence of proper keeping private information at Waratah Strata.
