Im new here and would appreciate some advice. Im a member on the E.C. There have been ongoing grievances in complex re parking on common property. Recently because of some inconsiderate tenants the situation escalated again and I received complaints that the Cttee should really sort this out.. Some E.C. members are not interested, but after discussion we had a majority to proceed to sort the parking by-law. I spoke to the Strata Manager for some assistance. I felt he was continually throwing hurdles at me with his responses that it has been an ongoing problem and there was an implied attitude that the complainers were the problem. After persisting I was told by him that he had never issued Notices to Comply despite ongoing complaints and that we must provide names photos times etc. He said he did not have a current register of tenants.
I suggested he update his register, and that we wanted to put forward a motion for a resolution that where any occupier consistently ignores a polite letter to observe the by-laws that Notices to Comply will be issued to signal we are serious to ensure harmony within the complex. I asked him for a “general type” motion that can be used for any and all breaches of parking by-law.. that its not just one resident but on occasion several. I asked for a general approach not a target towards any one individual in the motion to be put.
result: he has sent out to all Owners as required by law, a motion for resolution to issue Notice to Comply re parking on common property to a “named” individual.. I feel that this could have been handled better and more diplomatically and i feel that because of his initial reluctance to assist he has made me part of the problem instead of part of the solution. E.C. members have to now vote on a paper meeting .. I have a conflict with voting this way towards one individual.. Also I feel he has done this to ensure repeated costs each time it may be necessary. Im really annoyed and feel this agent has deliberately handled it badly …
Concerns against parking on common property are: the block is on a steep incline. All units have a garage. parking outside garages and anywhere within complex is on an incline and presents a potential risk of a vehicle running away again. .. there has been one serious incident where a collission occured when an illegally parked vehicle's brakes failed. We have several children in the block as well as several elderly residents.
grateful for any feedback.. thank you
