Good afternoon.
Your statements are not backed up by FULL copy of the SP52948
fire safety report and examples of which regulation was not
complied with.
Please provide the full fire safety report for 2020 to Lot 158 immediately.
We note that such report for 2018 and 2019 was not found in document searches on:
31 May 2019 and
20 September 2019
and not available on Waratah website for SP52948 owners.
a) The statement about snake is misleading and not factual.
Whoever provided such information has to be questioned for reasons
to submit it.
Lot 158 can remove the snake once owners corporation
guarantees smells coming from the foyer and smoking in one of the
units on Level 2 stop.
In addition, the full copy of SP52948 Fire Safety Report
2020 will have to be provided to Lot 158 to establish the facts.
Search on internet did not find any reference to a
regulation dealing with door snakes.

b) Upon our request, because we had peep hole on the previous door for 18 years, peep hole was drilled by ECMS staff in 2016 after around 12 years of external door being non-compliant with fire safety regulations.
High-tech device (purchased in Australia) with digital display is
used for safety and security of Lot 158 occupants due to
well-known stalking, harassment, and intimidation events. Waratah
Strata Management and Uniqueco Property Services were repeated
requested to guarantee safety of female owner of Lot 158 - to no
avail.
Refer to one example in attachment of orginal problems with the door "SP52948-Lot-158-Example-of-Gap-Fire-Door-April-2016.png".
Refer to attachment containing complaints from Lot 158 in 2013 and 2016 "20160425-Re_REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL RESPONSE - FIRE DOOR SP529487 Lot 158 NON-COMPLIANCE WITH 1905.1 and AS1530.4-8033.pdf"
The invoice for the door replacement is dated 12 August 2016.
Waratah Strata Management must have it on the files and keep it
for seven years.
Sadly, three years later, the door had to have fire door
compliance tag put in 2019 (meaning: it was not compliant for
three years again!), which should have been done in 2016.
Attachment
"SP52948-urgent-notice-to-put-fire-compliance-tag-on-front-door-Lot-158-three-years-after-the-door-replacement-12Feb2019.png".
In addition, for the last four years since the door was replaced, no complaint was lodged about peep hole in Lot 158 by Eagle Fire Protection. The staff of Eagle Fire Protection did not mention a single issue in our unit in 2020 apart from obvious problems with smoke detectors, which is much larger concern that Waratah Strata Management and Uniqueco Property Services will have to deal with for all owners with old smoke detectors soon.
If the whole door needs to be replaced again along with all
attachments at owners corporation cost, we welcome it upon getting
information who the "specialist is and from which company they
come to do the assessment and work" (date and exact time of visit,
staff name, company name, and contact phone number).
Thank you.
Following a recent inspection by Eagle
Fire Protection they found the following issues in relation
to your front door and your immediate assistance is
required:
Item # 119 |
Unit Door |
Peephole |
Please supply the manufacturers
corresponding information to support that the peep
hole is compliant. We will have our door specialist
investigate to determine if a new door is needed. |
|
Item # 120 |
Unit Door |
Non-compliant "Snake" on door |
Advisement only - Non-compliant
snake to be removed from fire door |
|
As a result it is necessary for you to
provide a certificate of compliance confirming that the peep
hole is indeed compliant.
Failure to provide this certificate may
result in the front door needing to be replaced as it is a
fire rated door and the peep-hole installation may have
negatively impacted the fire-rating. It is also our
understanding that the peep-hole may have been installed
without Owners Corporation approval.
In addition, it is necessary that the
draught stopper “Snake” at the bottom of your front door be
removed.
Photos below are provided for your
record.
Your urgent assistance would be
appreciated.
