Important Notices

Pets

Re: Keeping of Animals in the Lots & on Common Property; Strata Plan 57612, 26-44 Kippax Street, SURRY HILLS NSW 2010

Please refer to By-law 16 (1), Keeping of Animals, which clearly states:

"Subject to Section 49 (4), an owner or occupier of a lot must not, without the prior written approval of the owners corporation, keep any animal (except fish kept in a secure aquarium) on the lot or on common property."

Simple Steps if you either want to request permission for a pet, or currentlyhave a pet:

Step One: (for a tenant) - permission from the owner of the apartment must be provided (either directly, or via the Real Estate). Evidence of this will be requested from Strata.

Step Two: If you have a pet and do not currently have written permission from the Owners' Corporation to keep a pet in your unit, you are required to remove your pet immediately until approval is granted. If you have been granted approval, please send a copy of this to the office of Strata Partners (details provided on the website).

Step Three: If you do not yet have a pet, written permission from the Owners' Corporation is required prior to getting a pet (also refer to Step One if you are a tenant). Please email Strata Partners a copy of the permission if/once granted.

Renovations within units

The following information refers to any renovations you may plan to carry out within your unit (owners). Typical examples are kitchen and bathroom refurbishments.

Prior to the commencement of any renovations, such as kitchen or bathroom refurbishments, or alterations, owners must seek permission from the Owners Corporation.

Details (including plans or drawings) of intended work should be in writing and sent to the Owners Corporation, care of this office, at least four (4) weeks ahead of commencement of planned works. This is particularly important in respect of any removal or alteration to internal walls in units. Any such structural work must be supported by a written statement from a qualified Engineer advising whether the wall removal or alteration will affect the structural integrity of the building.

Details are also required of any changes or additions to existing plumbing or cables within walls/floors/ceiling and retiling of bathrooms and balconies.

Installation of timber or tiled flooring in any areas other than the kitchen, bathroom and laundry will generally not be condoned due to noise considerations.

Minor repairs and maintenance items within units such as repainting or recarpeting need not be advised to the Owners Corporation. Owners should however be aware that the cost of repairing any damage to common property caused by their tradesperson will be borne by the owner. Owners should also ensure their tradesmen carry appropriate insurance including Workers Compensation and Public Liability cover and are licensed to carry out the type of work contracted.

It is often necessary to close off water to the unit when carrying out bathroom or kitchen refurbishments. Owners are requested to have a plumber check and test the main water control valve into their unit before works are commenced to ensure unit flooding doesn't occur because of an old and faulty control valve. This happens more often than we care to mention.

Residents should be aware smoke detectors inside their apartment are not connected to the fireboard. These run off house electricity and have a battery back up for power failures. Should the detector begin emitting a high-pitched noise then the battery needs to be replaced.

- call [wcm]

- please be aware that the detectors in all common areas are connected to the fire board therefore any airborne substance such as steam, dust including all forms of smoke will set the alarm off and the fire brigade will have to attend.
