Hi,

Just 20-minute spot check of the Block A and surrounding areas in the complex over several days show the quality of services provided to owners.

a) Fire exit light on level 4 in Block A is still faulty. Photo attached.

b) Fire exit door near swimming pool was wide open and shows no fire safety signs early in the morning - completely unattended and unmonitored on 17 June 2019. Photo attached.

c) Painting of the BBQ area done again. Lot 158 needs confirmation if it was done as part of the warranties, or an extra cost to owners?

d) Lock on tennis court is completely rusted, Unattended for three years.

e) Water leak on level 7 in Block A still unattended. That nicely complements frequent water leak repairs in Block A and elsewhere. Lot 191 had more thnan 24 repairs over eight years (at cost above $21,000.00).

f) Rubbish chute on level 7 in Block A is completely damaged and cannot close. Unattended.

g) Garden bed damages are obvious. A few photos attached. Who is going to pay for the repairs: warranties as part of painting project or additional costs to owners?

h) Colorbond fence behind a townhouse unstable and unattended for five years.

i) Fence towards Fontenoy Road still unsafe and unattended by Unqueco Property Services since December 2018.

j) And more.

Spot check of all buildings and fire safety will be conducted by Lot 158 without advanced announcements.

Maintenance staff are advised that they will not dictate where Lot 158 goes within the complex - attachment "SP52948-excuses-for-poor-maintenance-20May2019.webp".
