Chelsea tower, 10-18 Railway Street, Chatswood, Sydney
Residents of the 22-storey tower built in 1998 sued builder Brookfield Multiplex for about $10 million a decade after completion for defects in the building including defective external render, corroding metal cowlings on fire services shutters and a spa on level 1 that leaked into the function rooms. The owners lost their first case in the NSW Supreme Court in 2012, won on appeal in 2013 and then lost in the High Court in 2014 when that court found the builder owed the owners no duty of care over defects after the six-year period had already ended. Since that time, no state or territory government has passed legislation to ensure owners had protection for defects. State-based statutory warranty insurance schemes exist for set periods after completion, but no building insurance exists for dwellings above three storeys in height.
16-30 Bunn Street, Pyrmont, Sydney
In 2009, the City of Sydney issued a rectification order for a 40-unit apartment block in Pyrmont, ordering residents out while the 2001 building was brought into compliance with fire safety requirements. Residents then suffered a years-long wait after disagreeing with government insurer BIG Corp on the extent of repairs. The original builder, BJ Metro Pty Ltd, was deregistered in 2008 and its principals could not be found by a lawyer working for residents. All works were finally completed in 2015, a city spokesman said.
Palermo, Baywater and Savona Drive, Hill Road and Nuvolari Place, Wentworth Point, Sydney
Owners at private developer Payce Consolidated's Wentworth Point apartment complex Palermo in Sydney's west - a complex with 245 units across four buildings - suffered defects including fire safety issues and water leaks after it was completed in 2007.
The owners lodged a claim against builder Southern Cross Constructions (NSW) in 2014 but the company had gone into liquidation in 2012. Payce said while the builder was obliged to rectify defects - mainly related to fire dampers, mechanical ventilation/exhaust fans in bathrooms and laundries and waterproofing - it negotiated and settled a $2.5 million defects claim by owners in April 2017.
Centenary Park, 81-86 Courallie Street, Homebush West, Sydney
One of the largest stratas in the country, with about 1000 units, Centenary Park is a sprawling gated community also situated in Sydney's west, next to the Sydney Flemington Markets.
The property suffered from poor management including congestion, overcrowding, excessive Airbnb lettings, soiled and leaking carparks as well as overflowing rubbish bins from the time residents first moved into the staged development in 2014.
The property also suffered cracking roads, chipped walls and water damage.
NSW Fair Trading issued the developer with a series of orders to fix gas water heaters, cracked tiles and facades and collapsing stairs between April and June 2017 with a deadline for compliance in August 2017. Fair Trading said the orders were complied following an inspection.
Since October last year, however, residents say an elevator in one of the buildings has consistently broken down.
The developer is Raad Group, also known as Lansari. It acquired the site adjoining a former quarry pit from Telmet Ventures, whose directors are also Payce's chairman Brian Boyd and his brother Garry.
World Tower and other Sydney CBD towers
Apartment developer Meriton counter-sued World Tower's owners when they claimed for defects against the developer between 2011 and 2013.
World Tower is one of the earliest tall residential towers in Sydney's CBD. Owners accused Meriton of neglect and breach of contract over building defects and maintenance issues worth more than $1 million.
Meriton had awarded itself the caretaker contract for 10 years after it completed the development in 2004.
Meriton was served with at least 15 official breach notices and formal complaints between 2011 and 2013 including flooding problems caused by shoddy work, malfunctioning lifts that frequently trapped residents, faulty fire systems, and defective swipe-card systems that locked residents out of the building.
The City of Sydney council also conducted inspections revealing a range of maintenance issues. |
