Subject: | PROBLEM REPORT: SP52948 Elevator in Block D out of order for at least 96 hours and still not operational as of 07:07 hours - 15Feb2020 |
Date: | 15/2/20, 7:14 am |
Fifth day - out of order elevator in Block D.
Maintenance staff finally displayed more informative notice in front of Block D and in the foyer on the ground floor.
Notice board of Block D still has no information for owners and
tenants. Interesting way to display democracy in action, by
preventing owners and tenants from having information about their
properties and investments.
Based on today's update from maintenance staff, the
elevator will be down till at least Tuesday 18 February 2020,
making elevator downtime at least 192 hours (eight days).
Fourth day - elevator in Block D out of order.
This time frustration of owners is starting to show up (refer to amendment of handwritten note written by some tenant or owner).
Elevator has now been broken for more than 85 hours.
Third day in full swing - elevator in Block D has been out of order for at least 59 hours so far.
Notice board in Block D still contains no information.
Owners in other units and all investors not notified so
far.
Photo evidence attached.
Regards,
PS. As a separate issue: Lot 158 again did not receive agenda for the EC meeting scheduled this month.
The elevator problem in Block D is soon entering the THIRD DAY, just several months after alleged major upgrades.
So far, based on evidence collected by Lot 158, the elevator in Block D has been out of order for at least 36 hours.
It was sad to witness two owners/tenants carrying washing
machine from the basement through fire doors and to upper floors by
hand this afternoon.
The attached photos speak for themselves.
The belated handwritten notice in two places in Block D is insufficient to inform the owners of the reoccurring problems.
In addition, notice board in Block D has absolutely no information about the elevator breakdown.
On a separate note, official information was received from
Electra Lift who confirmed that nobody notified them of the outcome
of their tender for major upgrades. That is not how professional
tenders are run. Thompson Elevator Consultancy Services assessment
and quotes for elevator major upgrades was sent to Waratah Strata
Management on 16 November 2017, but presented to owners through the
expired and misleading quotes one year later in agenda for Annual
General Meeting in October 2018, where three vendors were allegedly
short-listed:
Liftronic Elevator
Electra Lift
Otis Elevator

Good afternoon,
It turned out that the
elevator in Block D (third one Lot 158 has collected evidence for
in last two and a half months) was out of order at 06:35
hours.
It is possible that the elevator was broken for much longer before 06:35 hours.
At the same time, fire door in Block D was wide open and unattended.
maintenance staff did not publish notices near elevator doors on any of the floors in Block D.
At the same time, fire
door 2 in Block A was wide open and unattended.
maintenance staff did not publish notices near elevator doors on any of the floors in Block D.
At the same time, fire
door 2 in Block A was wide open and unattended.
maintenance staff did not publish notices near elevator doors on any of the floors in Block D.
As of this moment, the elevator in Block D has been out of order for AT LEAST NINE HOURS.
Further checks throughout the evening might show even worse status.
Photo evidence is enclosed.
