Debtors Update as of 31 Dec 12

The management office team initiated enforcement activities in December against persistent, stubborn and selfish debtors with monies owing for more than 60 days.

As expected the first phase was of mixed success due to some units being unoccupied. 

Due to the enforcement, a great many tenants found out that their landlord had not been paying the service charge when their access to common services was interrupted. This type of issue is solely between the tenant and their landlord.

The next batch of reminders and demand notices are currently being sent out and we anticipate more success with the units that are occupied.

We are pleased to announce that we are in the process of formally appointing a lawyer to initiate proceedings against the most persistent of debtors.

An updated listing of debtors will be posted soon, however in the meantime the following charts show the progress made and the challenge remaining:

Update on the condition of the building facade

The state of the exterior facade has been a major concern for long time The developer previously agreed to address the issues and some rectification work has taken place with mixed results with their efforts appearing to have been prioritised on the walls overlooking the developers new show room.

Despite numerous requests by our building management the developer had refused to provide any sort of schedule or plan for the works.

We were pleasantly surprised to receive the below letter forming us that a company would be appointed in Dec 12 to repair and repaint the facade.

Several months ago we commissioned a professional building dilapidation survey report to investigate the latent and unresolved defects as well as baseline the condition of our building prior to the adjacent development taking place.

Our reply to the developer letter is below and we are currently awaiting a response.

We will endeavor to keep all residents informed of the progress in this area.

installation of Lift Car Door Locking Device & EBOPS

We have recently been advised by our lift maintenance company of a safety directive issued by Jabatan Keselamatan Dan Kesihatan Pekerjann (JPKK) aka DOSH which states that all lifts must now be fitted with the following:

Car Locking Device 
The device will prevent the car doors from being forced open from the inside when the car is between floors. This will prevent trapped passengers from exposing themselves to the danger of falling down the lift shaft or getting crushed when trying to escape.

Emergency Battery Operated Power Supply (EBOPS) 
This is to keep the lights and fan running for a minimum of 2 hours in the event of a power failure thus reducing the anxiety and distress of trapped passengers.

As this is both a legal requirement and common sense the JMC have agreed to implement this asap at a cost of approximately RM4600 per lift by utilising the sinking fund.
