ICW is asking for an investigation about EQP legislation
ICW is submitting a complaint to the Ombudsman
Inner-City Wellington is very concerned about the impact that the issue of earthquake-prone buildings is having on owners in the city.
As part of our advocacy, Inner City Wellington is submitting - on behalf of apartment affected owners - a Complaint to the Ombudsman. (see below)
Our complaint sets out the impacts of the EQP legislation on apartment owners and asks for an investigation by the Ombudsman.
We are seeking support from owners of apartments in earthquake-prone buildings for the Complaint.
We also welcome support from other individuals in non-earthquake-prone buildings, including previous owners in an earthquake-prone building who have had to sell, owners who have already complied, and anyone concerned about the impacts of this legislation.
We also welcome support from Body Corporate Chairs on behalf of their wider Body Corporate.
