Commercial

When people use a strata building, they expect and deserve certain additions. But not mice, rats, snakes and other nasty creatures!

Having pest problems can seriously impact your residents, business and overall building.

So, it is important that strata owners and users know the responsibility and aspects of strata pest management.

We understand that there are many views out there regarding proper pest management. However, we are not going to discuss the actual methods, but rather, the needs and responsibility of managing this issue.

In saying this, there are multiple reasons why pests must be controlled.

Pests pose a serious health risk to the community, especially because strata schemes often have various individuals in common spaces.

As there are lots of community access points and areas, it can be easy for sickness to spread.

You can simply have safety and precautionary measures emplaced, but the difficulty of stopping illnesses increases dramatically when there are vermin afoot.

Throughout history, rats and mice are responsible for many disease spreads. And although we can better combat major contagions, it is still dangerous and irresponsible to allow these potential carriers to propagate and roam free – especially for pets and children’s safety.

For everyone’s benefit, pests MUST be controlled.

Another reason strata owners ought to control vermin is because if your building has a reputation for having pests and you’re not even attempting to control this infestation, then it can impact future decisions of renters, users and even future funding options or appraisals.

Of course, it is far better to be known as a clean and reliable building.

Whose responsibility is it to control pests?

The answer is quite logical. These are just the general guidelines according to NSW Fair Trading.

If pests are present before a tenant begins their stay, then it is the landlord’s responsibility. In strata schemes, this may lead to the body corporate getting involved and having to organise a solution.

However, if pests are a result of the actions of the tenant, then the responsibility falls on them.

For example, if a user’s area is filthy and they breached agreed conditions, made unauthorised modifications of the building or prompted ways that allowed pests to congregate, then the strata owners have an obligation to ensure that the tenant takes care of the issue.

It isn’t enough to say that the individual is fine living with pests. Because in a strata complex, multiple people will be affected.

If, as a tenant, you feel that the blame is being unfairly placed on you to have to deal with the issue, then you can challenge it.

A good rule of thumb for both owners and users is to follow standards and keep areas clean.

How to prevent pests?

The best way to keep pests from your strata is to be proactive. It is better to stop vermin from coming in the first place than to have to control and prevent them afterwards.

Here are some ideas for both strata owners and users to prevent pests.

• Keep common and private areas clean.
  • Vermin typically prefers dirty areas with easy-to-hide spots. Dark and musty rooms attract them.
• Every kitchen or food prep area must be extra clean and effective waste removal procedures should be practised.
  • Food waste is especially popular amongst vermin, hence why food prep areas must have extra strict cleaning procedures. Proper waste removal is essential to prevent rats from entering the building in search of food.
• Keep indoor and outdoor bins closed.
  • This helps the place remain clean and fresh. It also stops insects and rats from congregating inside.
• Remove decaying wood or items from any garden or outdoor area.
  • Rats, snakes and insects love to hide out and use decaying substances as hideouts.
• Be vigilant.
  • Keep an eye out for any decay or signs of infestation, especially for termites in wood. Check closets and cupboards for droppings.

If you are at the stage where pests are already around and you need to remove them, then regardless of who is at fault, professionals should be brought in.

Oftentimes solutions only last a little while before the creatures return, so using experts and having regular inspections will assist in preventing pests.

At Strata & Co., we understand the local area and know how to best help Sydney strata schemes.

We offer comprehensive strata management services in Chatswood and throughout the Greater Sydney region that can help advise and assist with pest management.

Sydney has a reputation for its lack of parking. It is one of the worst features of an otherwise great city.

In strata complexes, there is the issue of ensuring there is enough parking for residents and monitoring whether people are infringing the parking spaces.

In this blog, we discuss the problems, solutions and regulations that can help you get a handle on Sydney strata parking issues.

Common parking issues

Parking infringements can come from residents themselves or people from the public trying to snag an easy spot.

Residents with several vehicles may try to take up multiple spaces. People visiting their family may use strata parking, unaware that it is designated to someone. Or some random individual may need a quick parking spot and take up a convenient but allocated spot.

These issues can quickly flare up into major disputes because it is a real inconvenience to residents.

What can you do?

The first step is to determine the specific strata by-laws regarding the parking allocations and regulations.

Are all spots allocated? Are there some reserved for emergency vehicles or the handicapped? Are there specific spaces for visitors? These are all important distinctions to be made before enforcing anything further.

If spaces are unclaimed, then residents may wish to write in and request it to be allocated to them.

One way to avoid parking disputes is to clearly label or mark your designated parking spots.

People will be less likely to steal a spot that is clearly allocated rather than one that looks unreserved.

If parking rules are breached, then strata owners have the right to implement penalties, as long as they comply with NSW Fair Trading.

Strata owners can work with local councils in order to manage parking spaces. This gives parking rangers the ability to issue fines for breaching parking regulations, provided that clear signage and notices are issued.

Also, vehicles that block entrances, driveways or emergency access points are actually a safety hazard and must be removed. Owners corporation can move these vehicles, as long as notification is provided.

The new year is upon us – and there is no better time to begin implementing ideas and innovations that will set you up for the future.

Strata schemes are a great opportunity to apply up-and-coming ideas and potentially revolutionise your property.

In this article, we will discuss some potential ideas you could execute in your strata complex in order to remain modern and keep residents and users happy.

Plants

More and more people are looking for ways to contribute to a greener earth – and owning a strata complex gives you a great opportunity to help out.

All in all, having more plants can easily remove the industrial feel most building schemes unintentionally have. By exploring multiple landscaping options, you can effectively improve and reinvent the way your building exists.

A themed garden or perhaps sculpted plants provide an elegant feel. Plus, planting more trees and shrubs gives more privacy.

Don’t forget about the need for indoor plants! Check out our article about which ones are best in order to spice up your common areas.

Community events

If you own or manage a strata complex, then you have a unique opportunity to engage and influence a community.

More and more people are connecting with technology to the point where people desire and crave real world interactions.

Although events may require a lot of planning, a rooftop event, community garden or public initiative are all great ways to bring a community together.

Also, this has multiple benefits: it establishes you and your property as a community leader and influencer, provides residents and renters with opportunity and options and it gives back to society in an uplifting way.

Again, by virtue of having a building or scheme, you can greatly set yourself up as an attraction for the community.

Of course, balance is important. But it also allows you to foster a relationship that encourages feedback from both the community and the residents that you otherwise may not have built.

Security updates

People love feeling secure. And although people want 2020 to be a positive year, the truth is there are some that still commit crime.

Beefing up your premise’s security is a great way to reassure residents that you have their best interests in mind, whilst staying up-to-date with the latest security technology.

Whether you opt to introduce a new access control security system or further improve monitoring in common areas by installing CCTV cameras, people will appreciate the security.

You can even do simple things like, provide more lighting in ill-lit areas or reassure people by having a more open communication about security practices in place.

2020 is a year where people want to feel secure and comfortable about life. Your security upgrades could help with that! Not to mention, it establishes your whole property with more trust and credibility.

These are just a few innovative and fresh ideas you can implement in order to establish your Sydney strata as a modern and trustworthy scheme.

For more information about ideas or exactly how you can follow through in making 2020 your best year, contact Strata & Co. at 1300 033 947. We make strata and innovation simple, as your strata management Sydney experts.

During the Christmas season, much joy and happiness is spread. But unfortunately, crime is also more prevalent as criminals take advantage of the cracks in security in strata communities.

Granted, strata schemes offer more security than stand-alone properties. But there is always more you can do to lockdown your property.

Santa has his naughty or nice list – and we have compiled our own list of dos and don’ts for your strata security during the holiday season.

DOs

Communication

As a strata owner, your occupant’s safety ranks highly on your priorities.

It is important to clearly express to your tenants the level and measures of security that you have already put in place. You don’t want occupants to accidentally bypass these measures.

For example, they may hand out their keys/keycodes to unauthorised individuals. It is vital that your occupants value and respect imposed safety practices as much as you do.

With everyone on board and aware, your property gains a whole new level of reassurance.

Entry systems

Consider and review how people enter the building. Access control systems restrict access via mechanical or electronic methods.

Most use physical keys, but more increasingly, people are switching to electronic control systems such as key cards or pin pads. These allow specific monitoring on who is entering as well as when.

Intercoms

This technology has become a popular choice for building owners as it dramatically improves security and increases privacy for occupants.

Video intercoms allow people to see and communicate with outsiders before being permitted to enter. Plus, certain systems can record entry points.

CCTV security cameras

Having a security camera system set up around and inside your property can deter potential criminals by up to 50%. This is a huge asset to have for your building.

CCTV cameras also allow multiple pairs of eyes to be guarding entry ways, backdoor areas, or communal access points which will make everyone feel safer.

This option also helps with liability issues that may come up because you can easily access the recordings of accidents or claims.

Safes and locks

This applies to the building owner as well as the residents.

Not only should you keep files, sensitive details or private information locked and secure, but it is also important to encourage residents to obtain a personal safe for their own use.

Personal data, as well as expensive items, can be placed in a safe which add an extra layer of protection, especially if it is bolted or very heavy.

It is also important to get a fire-proof safe as during Christmas, the use of lights around trees can inadvertently cause fire damage.

Having a safe makes it even harder for criminals to compromise your belongings.

Lights and surroundings

Criminals prefer to do their dirty work in the dark, which is why strategically placing lighting around the building, especially near access points, can effectively deter thieves.

If your building is dark or hidden, then it encourages more shady behaviour.

Is your building close to pathways or other communal areas? Ample lighting can encourage more pedestrian traffic, which also wards off criminal behaviour.

Having well maintained greenery is also important as overgrown grass, shrubs or trees can act as cover for burglars.

If surrounding areas are clean and orderly, it makes it harder for criminals to scope, hide or retreat.

Not to mention, a well-kept strata indicates that the building operations are active and under watch. This is a deterrent as criminals love unattended or messy buildings.

DON’Ts

Never broadcast

Never broadcast or expose your security flaws via conversation, writing or online. This may seem obvious, but it is important that even if there is a loophole, it shouldn’t be discussed or spread before it can be dealt with.

Clever criminals are everywhere and they keep an eye out for ways to exploit your property.

Don’t allow open access

It is essential that only those people who should be there are entering your building. Whether they are tenants, employees or delivery men, there are ways to screen or monitor entry rather than choosing open access for all.

Most people are fine with a little bit of security and safeguards than having none at all. Perhaps this is a discussion to have at a meeting in order to gain varied perspectives and arrive at a joint conclusion.

Never compromise safety

Safety is highly important and should never be compromised for the sake of convenience or saving money.

If there are measures in place, ensure they are being carried out. It only takes one person shortcutting the system to allow a crack that can affect everyone.

Having frank conversations with occupants and employees is essential. And perhaps putting in repercussions for those involved if security is breached is a wise idea.

In strata schemes, one person may compromise but someone else may ultimately be impacted.

These are just some measures to establish this holiday season. Be aware that crime tends to increase due to higher alcohol and drug consumption as well as more free time available to people.

Any sort of renovation can be exciting, expensive and stressful. In a strata unit or apartment, it can be even more challenging to renovate because we might be unclear as to what we can do without permission.

In this article, let’s discuss some of the common repairs and maintenance you can conduct freely and others you need permission for from your body corporate or strata owner.

But before reading further, it is important to note that every building is different and there may be specific by-laws in place that prevent even minor renovations.

We recommend checking with your owner about what exactly you can do, lest you incur legal action.

Minor cosmetic

The reason why approval is needed for certain renovations is because it can impact the structure of the building.

Minor cosmetic changes such as hanging a painting, changing the colour of a wall or even modifying a countertop are all typically fine to do without permission.

According to the Fair Trading NSW site, other work can be declared as cosmetic if a by-law is passed. So, there may be more that you could do than originally thought.

Major renovations (Internal)

This would include things like renovating the kitchen or bathroom with new tiles, sinks, shower and so on.

These require permission because it could affect structural areas as well as the waterproofing.

Typically, 50% of the owner’s corporation needs to approve the plan for you to be able to enact it. Even if the owner(s) says it is all fine, it is better to ask anyway.

Even larger renovations may require 75% approval.

Communal areas

For anything that is a communal area or that would affect shared areas, it is important to talk to the owner.

Ultimately, because it is communal, it means the owner has the final say. But genuine ideas such as access ramps or fixtures may be of benefit and the owner may allow permission.

Each area is different – and a good strata manager will know the regulations for your situation.

Apart from getting the owner’s approval, it is important to comply with all council and government regulations as well.

For owners

Owners are able to speed up processes by passing by-laws that allow strata committees to approve minor renovations.

You can also pass by-laws that classify other work as minor renovations, making it easier to approve.

Having skilled strata managers will help in staying on top of all requests, paperwork and laws surrounding renovations and repairs.

Strata & Co. are experts in all things strata – and we can assist strata owners in keeping residents as happy as possible. We can help with advice, paperwork, financial, legal work and other strata management services you need.

Most of what a strata manager does can seem mysterious to outsiders. There are, in fact, many roles that a strata company manages, though some only offer basic services while others are more comprehensive.

In this article, we will take a look at the key roles of strata managers that can help improve your property.

1) Administrator

We all know the value of record-keeping and being extremely organised. This trait is much more important when managing strata complexes.

From keeping track of all meetings, agendas and payments to preparing and distributing official documents and notices, these are all part of the duties of a strata manager.

2) Consultant

You might be after something new or different for your property but want some advice on how to implement it. We often need advice or help, especially with regards to areas we have never looked into before.

When it comes to legal areas, good strata managers can give you advice in order to protect you from risk or liability. This could save you a lot of time and money.

When you own a property, it is invaluable to have professional counsel available when small or large issues pop up.

3) Moderator

Whenever multiple people are involved in anything, it is nice to have mediators on hand. Disputes can far better be handled when an unbiased manager is assessing.

Plus, strata managers provide clear and precise communication which can be dispersed or collected. We can assist with regulating by-laws and rules as well. It helps to have a neutral person available.

4) Coordinator – ongoing maintenance & remedial works

When things need to get done, strata managers can do it. Regular maintenance, remedial works and major repairs – you name it. A qualified management company will be able to fulfil the demand and obtain several quotes to ensure most competitive price, workmanship and warranties are upheld, Including obtaining and checking contractors’ licenses and insurances are current.

Most of the time, outside contracting services may be needed in strata buildings, but a strata manager can coordinate those processes seamlessly.

A trusted strata manager is essential because they can be given tasks and you know you’ll get the best results.

These are some of the main roles of a strata manager.  They don’t stop there, however. Strata & Co. prides itself in being the only one of its kind in all of Australia. We are a one-stop-shop for strata management throughout the country, and we live by our motto, ‘strata made simple’.

We not only fulfil all the roles detailed in this blog, but we can cover so much more! For more information about how we can help you, contact our friendly and licensed staff at 1300 033 947.

In almost every area of our lives, we rely on exchanging goods and services with other people. But sometimes, we lack the results we expect from service providers. This can have a huge impact on our businesses, lives and even our trust.

Here is how you can tell if your strata manager is lazy and what you can do to get better services.

1) Non-responsive

If you constantly have to follow up or try to get a hold of your strata manager to then get no response or acknowledgement, this is a bad sign. You need responsive and pro-active managers, especially when things are urgent.

Some people prefer to only be contacted when there are problems and just have things managed behind the scenes. That is fine if you have arranged that with your strata manager. But generally speaking, it is important to have good communication with your manager.

If a problem surfaces, you want to have the peace of mind that they will respond quickly. Perhaps it will take time to solve the problem, but at least you know they are working on it. Having someone responsive is essential and is a tell-tale sign of a good manager.

2) Lateness

Depending on the services you require, you may need reports, invoices or items mailed/emailed to you from time to time or regularly.

If reports are consistently late, invoices are always sent at random times and documents take too long to arrive, then this is another big sign of a lazy manager.

This is an indication of bad organisation skills and the company being overwhelmed which usually impacts other important areas of your service.

A good strata management company in Sydney stays on top of all the reports and paperwork that you require. You would know when you will receive these items when you have a consistent manager.

3) Complaints

Not all complaints fall under the jurisdiction of your strata manager, but if certain areas that they should be managing are not being handled properly, then there’s no doubt you will notice complaints about it.

This makes you and your property look unprofessional and can cause a bad reputation. A complaint is never desirable, especially if you are paying someone to manage that part of your strata. This is an obvious sign of laziness or incapability.

What can you do?

These are just a few signs of a lazy strata manager, but what exactly can you do about it?

If your strata manager in Sydney is exhibiting any or all of these signs, then the first step is to have a frank conversation. It is important to be vocal and have an official conversation about your concerns and queries.

This is the test. If things don’t change after you converse with them, then it is probably time to look for another manager.

If you decide that you want to change strata managers, check out our article on how to do that here.

You don’t want to go from bad to worse, so make sure you are getting the best. Here is an article on what to look for in strata managers.

Here at Strata & Co., we pride ourselves on excellent service and avoid all the signs of a lazy strata manager. We have experienced and licensed staff local to Sydney.

It is not uncommon for strata owners to look for ways to improve the common areas of their buildings. Sydney strata is an ideal location for a host of indoor plants.

Not all plants are suitable for indoor use, however, and having the wrong plants inside can end up giving you more work than required.

Also, if plants die and look ugly, then they become a waste of money and provide an unprofessional image. Let’s look at some of the best indoor plants that you can use in your strata building.

Chinese Evergreen

Profile: Also known as a painted drop tongue, this plant is great for indoor use as it is resilient. It produces dark green leaves that grow on long stems. This is a slow-growing plant but has simple beauty once mature.

Caring for: Moderate to light sunlight is enough and it can survive fine with shaded light. If the plant is evenly moist, it will thrive well indoors.

Benefits: Besides being easy to care for, this plant is also perfect for decorating tables. And if it ever grows too large, the stems can be trimmed easily.

Weeping Fig

Profile: From the ficus family, this plant can grow from one to two metres tall. It is a Northern Australian native but works well all over Australia. It has slender branches and small leaves.

Caring for: It requires bright sun and should remain moist. Also, it should not sit in water as this can rot the leaves. Pruning should be done as this plant can grow extremely tall otherwise, but pruning is easy.

Benefits: Weeping fig is one of the best air quality purifiers available. It removes toxic chemicals in the air and it also looks great.

Pothos

Profile: This potted plant is a great starter for many people as it is super easy to care for and is beautiful. Owners of this plant should be careful though because ingesting it can be harmful. It should mainly be used in areas that are not accessible to young children who may eat it.

Caring for: Pothos can live and thrive in low-lit areas, so they are suitable for staircases, bathrooms or office spaces. They can be planted in dry soil or in water and are great for pruning and regrowing.

Benefits: This plant is hardy and can survive in soil or in a water vase. It grows beautifully in a kind of vine shape which makes it perfect for window sills, shelves or desks.

Iron Plant

Profile: The iron plant, also known as the cast-iron or ballroom plant, is extremely durable. It is highly favoured by people who are too busy to own house plants but still want one. It has deep green leaves that provide a wonderful pop of colour to boring areas.

Caring for: This is one of the easiest plants to care for, making it suitable for strata buildings. They can last in hot or cold weather and are fine in dry soil. It is a slow-growing plant, meaning that it won’t need pruning for a while. And even then, it is simple to maintain.

Benefits: This plant is perfect for those who have all the other plants they have owned, die. It is super resilient and the large, green leaves look beautiful. This vibrant plant is great for making bold statements, whilst enhancing common areas and being easy to care for.

Fiddle Fig Leaf

Profile: This plant is highly fashionable right now for its large leaves and quite pretty build. They can grow very large, making them perfect for high-ceiling but perhaps small rooms. They are best used as a floor plant and can work well in the corner of rooms. They are harder to take care of than other plants but even a small fiddle fig is remarkable.

Caring for: They require a balance between sunlight and water. The soil should not be too wet and they should not be in direct sunlight all day, hence why the corner of a room may be best. They can be pruned easily and may require it as they can grow over two metres tall.

Benefits: This plant has air-purifying qualities and it looks amazing. You will be hard-pressed to find another plant of its type that can fill a room and work well indoors. This style of plant is great for open strata common areas.

Peace Lily

Profile: For those who love flowering plants, but are worried they will die, the peace lily is for you. It is an ideal plant for apartment buildings and strata because it can survive in lowlight settings, even growing well under fluorescent lights. The white flowers produced really pop amongst the bright green leaves.

Caring for: This plant, when indoors, typically grows to around 40 centimetres. It requires consistent moisture, part sunlight and part shade in order to thrive.

Benefits: This plant is super easy to care for, produces beautiful white flowers and works well under artificial light. It is no wonder these are one of the most common houseplants.

Snake Plant

Profile: Also known as mother-in-law’s tongue, this plant is considered one of the most resilient available. This plant is awesome as being neglected, yet remaining not only alive, but looking great. Scientists have found that this plant is also one of the best at purifying toxins from the air. For strata owners who want an easy to care for and functional plant, the snake plant is the best choice.

Caring for: The main thing to know about this plant is the leaves can rot if the soil cannot drain. If the plant is in a soil-draining pot, then it will likely survive whatever you throw at it. It can last in low to high sun and cold to hot temperatures.

Benefits: This plant is versatile, pretty and great at cleaning the air. It is an ideal plant for any strata complex. Also, it can easily be duplicated, meaning you can plant more and more and have a stable supply of greenery in your strata building.

Perhaps you are unhappy with your service provider, or maybe you are looking for your first strata manager.

Comprehensive

Not all strata service providers are created equal. Some only provide basic services; others are pre-packaged plans. It is best to choose a manager that can do it all.

It can be time-consuming to have a strata manager that fails to manage every area of your strata. You then must fill in the gaps and compensate for their lack of services. It can also be more expensive to have to deal with multiple points of contact.

Having a strata manager than can act as your main contact and provide services that cover all your needs is essential.

No area of your strata should be left uncovered – and Strata & Co., is the only strata management of the kind in Sydney that produces complete services. With us, you are covered.

Local

Having managers that know your area is essential for effective strata management. Different areas have different needs, challenges and regulations – and only local strata companies can truly assist you.

Also, being local means that you are less likely to be left behind or forgotten as distant providers can get caught up with their own areas. Having local expertise that genuinely cares for you is key.

Fully licensed

This point may sound obvious, but your strata provider choice should be fully licensed. This will ensure industry knowledge and accountability.

A mistake in strata paperwork, systems or management can be costly and a real hassle. Having fully licensed managers ensure you get qualified advice, action and protection.

Strata & Co. not only has 100% licensed staff, but also industry knowledge in all areas of strata – from residential, commercial and corporate. This becomes especially important when legal work needs to be completed.

Customised

Just like how not all providers are created equal, no two strata buildings are the same as well. Each complex will face its own needs and challenges. Having a strata company that tailors the service based on your specific needs is crucial.

Otherwise, you will be left with uncovered areas of your strata which can cost you in the long run. Having bespoke plans means you get the coverage and services you deserve.

These are just some main areas that you should be looking for in a strata company. And Strata & Co. only offers the best for you!

If you are unhappy with your current provider or perhaps need your first strata manager, then give our friendly, local and comprehensive staff a call at 1300 033 947 to see how we can help you.
