Bad Bad Boys

Recent Letter sent to the crack in the wall gang.
These guys are bad boys, bad boys

Dear Sirs

Thanks for your letter of the xxxxxx.

I do not accept any of the statements that you have made in your letter regarding an obvious crack in the building affecting xxxxxx

This is a structural crack right up the building, its movement is now irrelevant. Even if it was relevant your property manager stated in an email of xxxxxx.

"The cracks are not worsening and haven’t worsened for at least the past six months...."

"...and have had them inspected by my colleagues also."

If what your property manager appeared to say was correct then yet another investigation concerning movement would patently be a waste of everyone's time and money, (that's assuming he has the skill and expertise to assess such a situation, which I believe he has not.)

1. I repeat my request for a proper written assessment of damage to the building outlining the work needed by a properly qualified Structural Engineer to enable repair.
2. I be informed at all stages of the works intended.
3. A final report,  after works has been completed, that states that a mortgage can be granted on any of the properties affected written by a properly qualified Structural Engineer
4. Repairs to be of a highest standard with brickwork and mortar matching the surrounding areas.
5. The general area to be returned to a fit and tidy state.

All this is a repeat of my letter of the xxxxxxxx requesting a solid action plan by the xxxxxx.

Other Issues

I still wish to see progress on the other basic maintenance issues to maintain the integrity of xxxxxx. These I have already mentioned previously in my letter of the xxxxxxxxx. I still see no physical sign of any change regarding these important points.

In addition, there is some damage to a step in the stairs in my block. It should obviously be considered an urgent repair issue as someone might trip over it. If someone has done something about it in the mean time, please accept my humble apologies. (<<<<<< possible deliberate vandalism by one of their workmen to "teach me a lesson", yes that is threatening behaviour and unlawful if found to be true)

Insurance Cover

(Posssible they have never been properly insured despite recent increases in the costs of insurance, they should have been able to claim on the insurance for building works but can't because the insurance people have never been informed properly about the issue) (<<<<< cowboys masquerading in suits )

A proper written structural engineers report is also needed to inform the company, who provides xxxxxx building insurance, that there is a crack in the building and it's been repaired to the required standard.

If the insurance company has not been informed of this structural defect and measures to deal with it, it will invalidate any possible insurance claims in the future therefore leaving us, the residents, uninsured for building losses.

Could you please confirm that the insurance company, with its name and address, has been properly informed of this structural crack so the residents of xxxxxxxx are safe in the knowledge we have adequate insurance cover.

Non-destructive protest

My non-destructive protest of a reduced service charge remains the same but if more undue delay and prevarication continues I will cease paying any service charges at all as already mentioned previously in my letter of the xxxxxx

I remain forever positive and constructive in the hope that these issues can be resolved sensibly and timely as would any person who is fair and reasonable.

Kind regards
