Air Conditioner Compressor Fiasco

A Killer Weapon hanging over your Head,  Owners living in constant risk.

The issue of owners of Komplek Suria Kinrara installing air conditioner compressor outside their windows was discussed during the recent RA committee meeting, on the Facebook and email.

This whole problem should be shouldered by the management company, FFMS, for the poor enforcement of house rules and supervision of the owner/contractor installing the air conditioner. All the air conditioner units were moved into the apartment units through the lifts and was fully visible to the guards. So, there is no acceptable excuse from the management company claiming they are not aware or unable to control air conditioner contractors.

See how ugly is this sight. Piping not concealed

I am very sad to note the many apartment owners and tenants are ignorant or indifferent to the conditions of living in an  apartment or condos. These selfishness and indifference attitude is also prevailing in high end condos. The mutual respects for each and every owner/tenant must prevail at all time.

Many owners fixed the air cond compressor hanging outside their windows are taking great risk.  They are probably not aware of the risk .

If any of these air cond compressors injure anybody or damage any property, whether during servicing, refilling gas or the compressor fall down, the owners and the tenants can be sued by the injured parties.

For safety and aesthetic reasons, all apartments/condo have a designated place(concrete slabs) for air cond compressor. In Komplek Suria Kinrara, this concrete slab is located outside the yard area.

There are already many lawsuits. 

If peoples are killed or injured, expensive cars damaged or other properties damaged, you may not be able to pay the claim, even by selling your apartments. Unless you have taken a public liability all risks insurance for your apartment, you are at constant risk.

We are living in a community with common properties and everybody owes a duty of care to your neighbours. The Legal term for neighbour is not your immediate neighbour. It means everybody in the community.

Owners and tenants living in apartment and condos, must know the Law of Torts and the statutory laws relating to Building and Common properties.
