A building defect was found in the apartment’s bathroom… The building is 20 years old. Who is responsible for rectifying the issues? – Jane, NSW

Q: A building defect was found in the apartment’s bathroom (the shower floor structure is defective and it doesn’t have an appropriate fall to the drain. The bathroom is the original). The building is 20 years old. Who is responsible for rectifying these issues?

 

A: It may be best to check your strata plan and by-laws. This will let you know whether the shower floor is the owner’s responsibility or not.

Alternatively, you can speak to your strata manager or someone on your strata committee, as they will be able to help you with the matter.
