For the uneven wall paint, usually you can ask them to re skin the wall to make it even and smooth

And for the AC, make sure they ask professional AC installer, you wouldn't want a Bangla adjusting it, and accidentally bending or dislocate the piping!

In both case, yes, just write in to them and label it as defects.

Parking here for future reference

Thank you very much for your advice bro

Hi all,
need you advise urgently!

1. How you guys deal with those floor tiles are not even? some of them more than 1mm and some of them less than 1mm?
2. If the developer have change those tiles are hollow but the tiles the replace are difference color? (a bit difference)

Hi,

for my property, i have similar problem, as such i've lodge them as defects and the porblem was solved.

unfortunately, while carrying out the repair, i was warned by the developer that the replaced tiles while same colour will however have a slight tone different.

but i was willing to live with slight different tone of colour than uneven tone, and fortunately for me, eventually the different in tone colour was less and less visible once more furniture move in.

so i suppose you should still lodge it as defect, and ask to see a few sample of the tile, you choose it your self the one with the least different, and over time, im sure it will not be noticeble at all.

Dear All,

Appreciate your help and advice on the following, we are running out of time before defect period ended soon in 5mths.


Case: developer silent and drag the residents request on the common area defects, dyfunctional security system, safety issue & etc.

What is the procedures to hold developer's deposit (2.5% or 5%) which with the lawyer?

Is there any effective way to get developer resolve those issues (black and white, verbally feel unsecure because complaint many times no action to rectify)?

Thank you so much

if possible, work collectively with all, most of the other owner and form a majority.

issues letter highlighting the issues, and demand them to reply within a pre determined timeline, and ask them to draft out the time line of the repairs needed.

and have all owner agree to the content of the letter, then submit it to the developer, and inform them the letter with be sent to COB (Commission of Building) for noting too.

Thank you so much for your valuable advice

We have sub-committee with 14 ppl work on this issue and EGM (there are other issues on committee and chairman)

Thanks, just found a sample letter from HBA website on NOTICE TO STAKEHOLDER LAWYERS. Noted, we will get 50% of the owners to sign.

Is it wise to cc COB, Local Housing Department and Town Council Department?

yeah, very important to have majority of owner agree with your cause, and since you're at it, make sure to photograph all the listed defect with multiple angle and attached it together.

my suggestion is rope in all authority, but inform them is for noting just in case developer refuse to acknowledge the problem, then only you all can ask them for suggestion in taking action against the developer.

Noted.

Can we submit via JMB or individually?

Coz we prefer all actions in accordance to the law, the developer has no reasons to reject the repairs.

Via JMB would be ideal, and ensure everyone was kept inform.

I faced similar problem from my condo, and while there's several owner pulling together, most were oblivious of the issues, make worst was the low occupancy rate in the initial stage.

And eventually, instead of forcing the developer to take immediate action, they developer issued lawyer letter saying we're defaming them and request for a sum of compensation.

Therefore it's of paramount important for you, and majority of the owner (or more) to agree on the issue otherwise developer might turn around and say you all defaming them as they don't seem to have any issue with other owner.

Thank you for sharing your case

Now we may need to held EGM coz the current JMB committee mbrs sided developer (5 out of 7 mbrs are developer's ppl including chairman)

thanks please advices.........

Write in to developer to complete all defect within 3months.

Also inform them that upon the expiry of the deadline and problem persist, you are protected in the sense that you can find your own repair contractor and charge it to the developer.

But ensure you communicate with developer
