Can a building recall on design occur
I have two apartments in one complex both hot water systems, gravity fed roof type. They are leaking and causing structural damage. I can not reach them to service or repair because of the lack of foresight of architects and negligence of those who granted building approval. They are set in the roof space of a three storey apartment building. anchored to the side wall. Above a suspended ceiling with a minature man hole metres away. 3 plumbers have told me that the costs will be immense to replace or even to dismantle these units and noone is interested in doing the job which will likely involve using a crane , cherry pickers and men harnassed to be lowered into the steep roof space. I suggested removing the ceiling to access it. Do I have any legal rights because my costs are going to be horrendous especially the lost rental income while these units are being replaced. Surely the building should be recalled due to the fault just as a car would.? Any advice out there. What are my legal rights in this situation?
