Hi Scott, Thanks. Late-80s? I've been ripped off! I thought it was late 90s :(

Hi everyone, Here's a shot of the exterior. An update on the situation: I had a strata cleaner come in to do a quote. They do everything - maintenance, repairs, plumbing etc, in addition to cleaning. The tradie who came to do the quote said the door will probably need to be replaced with a...

Hi Scott No Mates, HandyAndy, Macca and AlmostBob, Thank you so much for your input, it really helps as I am battling strata and the exec alone. I tried to PM you some photos but I couldn't work out how to attach them. Are attachments not allowed for PMs? If that doesn't work I'll stick...

Hi macca, Good idea. I may even have sold the property before we get a fire order. I'll contact the council anonymously then. ;)

Hi Scott, Thanks. I will write to the council then. I'll post pics here when I've taken them

Hi handy Andy, Really? I'm so disappointed. I really thought it was a 90s block. I will pm you the photos if you're interested in seeing them. Baaah Is there a way to check when buildings were built? Surely a database must exist.

Hi Scott, yes it has a closer. The L-shaped / elbow-shaped type.

Thanks. Then aren't weatherboard and plasterboard houses all NOT fire compliant?

Hi Bob, Thanks. I don't know. I think the property has just had alot of rough hands on it over the years. I have seen some of the tenants jam the front door open. Thanks, I will add your argument about the fire compliance to my research/ammo list. (PS in regards to my HWS I will wait...

oh noooo....... OK, Thanks. I will be attending the property to let the tradie in to fix a smashed window (guess who organised all this. If I hadn't attended the property to fix the lights no one would even have reported the smashed window. They would happily have lived with bits of glass...

Scott - thanks. We get the mandatory annual fire inspection. So far, all good. So, I assume the door is compliant with whatever regulations. HandyAndy - it's a small block. 3 storey walkup. Does this qualify as multi-storey? It's not a high rise with a lift, if that's what you mean. What photos...

Hi handyandy, It's a unit in a small multi storey block. Scott - my building post-dates the bca 1990 i guess, as it was built after that. I'll google what you have provided later, thank you. Macca and dec - hahahaha!!!! I bought a unit thinking life would be easier as strata would take...

Hi Scott, Define 'old'? My block is less than 20 years old. What's a fire order? I'll google that. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Tim. I'll see what prices are like.

Thanks Scott. I'll start worrying about it after my holiday. Then I'll book another holiday. I only booked a short holiday this time, because I don't really need one right now. I sure will later. Sigh, thanks.

Does anyone know how much a new door will cost? Door, jamb, frame and everything. I'm sweating just thinking about the fight I'll have to put up for that!

Thank you. OK, let's try this. I'll talk to the handyman about it.

Thanks Scott. Oh noooooooo Here we go again. Yet another fight with the strata. I'm going on holiday soon. I'll worry about this when I get back. I don't want to deal with the matter halfway and be stewing over it on my holiday. By the way, the door actually has windows in it. So...

The main door to my apartment has a crack in the door jamb (see attached photo). I noticed the door wasn't closing automatically, like it should. An electrician was on site so he tightened the screws a little bit (the door wasn't his problem but he happened to be there). He said we need to get...
