WTF! - vai kā no ruberoīda sāk augt plastmasas sēnes

Šis ir īss kopsavilkums par to, kā terase tika pārvērsta par ruberoīdu jumta, no kura aug plastmasas sēnes. 

June 14 2013  I had a terrace. It was in  need of repairs but usable.

August 1 2013

Went to our flat and discovered all the tiles of our terrace were dismantled without our permission.

  

Dismantling of the tiles of terrace was done by DUCTUS who were instructed by BPT who was instructed by Latectus.  It should be noted that the terrace of our flat is OUR terrace and officially private property.  We wrote to both BPT and Latectus asking for the actual roof and terrace repair plans.   No plans came.  Yes, I was stunned that people would go on my private property to remove it without my permission. In Latvian law it is permissible to do this in the case of an emergency. They (Latectus and BPT) have known about the leaking roof and had plans to repair it even before we bought the flat.  So I do not think that the leaks at that time could be considered an emergency where permission could not be gained - not to mention they had all my contact info as well as a post box at the apartment.

August 2013 

 

Roof repairs continue. We have requested again for the technical plans. None were sent.  Yes, they got our emails and understood our phone conversions. 

In the meanwhile one of the leading Latvian building experts comes and has a looks at the repair job and verbally says the job is below standard and we would have leaks within a year, and from what little info we got from previous bids about the roof structure it appears to be violating  the building codes dealing with insulation and condensation. 

A letter was sent to us via the Latectus lawyer to set up a meeting to return the money we paid of the flat. We were waiting for a meeting to discuss with Latectus about what the possibilities were. We had in no way agreed to return the flat for the selling price. They did not even think to offer the taxes and registration fees that we incurred after buying a flat where the faults were known but actively hidden from the buyer.

Got an email from BPT rep that the roof repairs were almost finished, and they wish to attach an electrical cable to our flat’s electricity. This cable will heat the drains in winter to stop them from freezing. WTF! I am to personally heat part of the apartment drainage system.  By word of mouth, another terrace owner said that the electrician told him it would be like only burning a 100 Watt bulb 24-7 for at least 6 months a year. So at the present cost of electricity, and there being 2 drains on the apartment’s house roof section under where my terrace once was, would cost me an additional 14 ls
 (28 usd) in electricity a month out of my pocket. I think NOT!

This is a shot of the apartment’s house roof (the black) which will be under our terrace. The building there is the furnace room for the apartment house. There is electricity there. Why the bleep don’t they connect the drainage heating there??? The portion of terrace partially removed with the rolls on it is a common apartment house terrace, where will the drainage heating for that come from?

Also note there seems to be some sort of electrical outlet by the chimneys. 

Discussion about the possibility of a flat exchange with the Latecus lawyer start. After a couple of weeks we are offered to choose one of thirteen 2 room flats without a terrace to exchange for our 2 room flat with a 38m² terrace. It is to be a straight exchange of apples for oranges, no compensation is discussed about us exchanging to a flat of lower value, and Latectus does not think that a 60m²  2 room flat with a 38m² terrace is exchangeable with a 3 room 63.8m² flat with no terrace or balcony.    No deal there :(

September 23 2013

Without any confirmation of roof plans or that the roof is finished, the autumn rains starts. And guess what - there is a leak! It was rather bad and damaged another portion of the ceiling. However, repair company’s DUCTUS  response was good - at the moment the leaks seem to have stopped.

WTF!!!!! Went to the flat today and saw they have done some more things to the roof which is to be below my terrace.

Walkway from the flat to the terrace.  Please note the sides of the black material are already puffy and soft.

The 38m²  terrace with a total of 7 aerator

How the hell is my terrace going to be put on top of that!!

As am I too much of a coward to go up the fire escape to the terrace above I wonder if the section of the apartment house roof above our flat looks like the one which is to be below my terrace.

a royally peeved Wife 

***Update. Hubby dear went onto the terrace/roof above ours and theirs has 12 aerator for 105m² surface. How on earth did the roof below where my terrace should be get 7??
