FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: BBQs and secret committee meetingsA couple of issues popped on to the Flat Chat radar while we were off being festive.One was all about smoking on balconies which, if that wasn’t serious enough, raised the spectre of barbecues being banned from apartment blocks.Is the threat real and would anyone care? Or could we expect to see Sam Kekovich leading a protest march on state parliaments to deter our politicians from making any such unAustralian decisions.While we’re on the subject of threats to democracy (he says, drawing an extremely long bow) why are owners welcome to attend strata committee meetings in s...2023-01-0923 min

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Smears and fears as Commish targettedIf NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler has served no other function, he earns our respect and gratitude for being a very useful source of entertaining, informative and occasionally horrifying stories.The latest, from a parliamentary committee meeting, involves an allegation that development company’s executives had tried to smear him with a suggestion that he had demanded a $5million bribe to back off from a development where he’d banned sales until defects were fixed.We pick the bones out of that in the podcast.

Heartless and cruel? Strata committees can’t set special levies. And owners corporations have to maintain and repair common property.The block is 50 years old – has nobody been putting money in the sinking fund?

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Two alarms over fire safety in apartmentsThis week the pod takes a deep dive into the murky waters of fire safety, how we ignore it at our considerable peril and how this essential part of our strata lives is ripe for exploitation by unscrupulous contractors.This discussion was prompted partly by the terrible fire in New York a couple of weeks ago when, it seems, doors left open during a relatively small fire allowed smoke to spread through the building, killing 17 people by asphyxiation.And we were also drawn to a Forum discussion about how buildings can pass fire inspections for years, then suddenly find that...2022-01-2530 min

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Pets, privacy and penalties in law reviewThis week a massive review of NSW strata laws landed in Parliament and it’s given us a lot to talk about … perhaps a little too much.As you will see from this story, there are proposals about educating committees, defining what their members do and making it easier to sack individual members.There are suggested rewrites for the rules on pets and assistance animals, so that you don’t force vision-impaired residents to carry their guide dogs across common property.There are many much-needed regulations concerning building managers plus plans to allow Fair Trading to run cases at NCAT. That ma...2021-11-3032 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Is it OK to block access to email addresses?In the latest Flat Chat Wrap, listeners (and readers) get a preview of this week’s Fin Review column which will examine the issue of access to other owners’ email addresses.Do secretaries’ and strata managers’ oft-stated desire to maintain owners’ privacy sometimes stem from not wanting ordinary owners to communicate?How do you balance the benefits of open communication with the risk of being bombarded by abusive messages from serial pests.And is it even legal to withhold email addresses that are on the records of strata schemes?Also on the podcast, we look at the drift back to offices fr...2021-11-1630 min
Tacos and TeKILLyaJimmy Hoffa - Part OneJimmy Hoffa was a labor union activist that rose through the ranks in the Teamster Organization to eventually become president. He started off as a simple laborer in Detroit, the city that he always considered home, and eventually became a nationally known name. Jimmy Hoffa led a life many cannot imagine, which includes his involvement with organized crime and working with many Mafia families. This and his criminal record could have easily lead to his downfall, but no one truly knows. Today, we discuss who he was, his criminal history and his feud with a VERY well-known attorney. Come...2021-11-091h 00
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Hit list for new property commissionerIn the same week that we get a new property services commissioner in NSW we hear that the first building construction certifier in NSW has been been sin-binned for a year (at least). What's the connection? With the new commish appointed to do to real estate agents and strata managers what David Chandler has been doing to the building industry, maybe he too will be kicking ass and taking names.Or will he? As we discuss in this week’s podcast, for all their faults (which are many and great), strata managers and RE agents haven’t been destroying people’s hopes...2021-11-0931 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Strata Hub stats and hottest spot for flatsThis week in the podcast we take a long, hard look at the proposals – well advanced, it must be said – for every strata scheme in NSW to register all their vital statistics on the state’s new Strata Hub.What kind of information will they want and why do they want it? And what happens if old Geoff, the rusted-on secretary in Flat 4b, forgets to fill in the form or just doesn't think it applies to your strata scheme .Are there penalties for failure to comply with this Big Brother-like intrusion into our lives? (Yes.) And how much are they? (A...2021-11-0230 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: See you soon … on your CCTV screensExactly who gets to view the recording from your strata scheme’s CCTV cameras? That’s a topic that’s been keeping us occupied on the Flat Chat Forum and now gets an additional airing on the podcast.Can your strata scheme limit viewings to the strata manager or committee members? Aren’t there privacy issues involved? And what about those who want to look at the recordings for nefarious purposes.In a podcast in which it sounds like Jimmy is going for a world record in the use of the word “nefarious” we pick the pixels out of the strata laws su...2021-10-2627 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: No-vax bans and climate denial warningWe cover a lot of ground in this week’s podcast, from local pandemic panics to global warming and the potential "scary" effect of political inaction on your mortgages.First up we look into pro and anti-vaccine passions and the desire in some strata schemes to prevent unvaccinated residents from accessing communal facilities.As this story also discusses, is it fair, legal or even desirable to keep the unvaccinated out of gyms, pools, saunas, spas, communal areas and video theatres?Or, looking at it another way, is it responsible, legally justifiable and safe not to do so?LISTEN HEREAlso we di...2021-10-0529 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Defects detective Chandler’s candid chatWe have something of a star guest on this week’s podcast. Sue Williams, our regular co-host, has allowed us to dip into her recordings of her interview with Building Commissioner David Chandler so you can hear the voice of the man who is turning strata development in NSW on its head.And it has just occurred to me that some search engines might have brought Friends fans here, attracted by the name Chandler. So if Bing brought you here in search of Chandler Bing, our apologies. But, hey, you're among friends.LISTEN HEREHowever, before we get to the Commish, fi...2021-09-2828 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Blockdown roll call carries a $5000 stingAs we edge ever closer to relief from our various lockdowns – and the inevitable spike in infections that will follow before vaccinations fully kick in – the NSW government’s plan for apartment blocks is quietly gelling in the background.And, as detailed in this story, part of the plan to limit the spread as we transition to semi-freedom, will be to blitz any unit blocks where an infection pops up.One major element of that strategy is to allow managers, health workers or even police to knock on apartment doors to find out who’s living there and who is a freque...2021-09-1429 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Anti-anti-vaxxers and 20,000 listensForgive us for patting ourselves on the back this week but, having surpassed 20,000 downloads and listens to the podcast, I reckon we’ve earned a little self-indulgence. Suffice it to say that the audience for our weekly ramblings is growing steadily, and that has to be good.This week we turn our attention to the extended moratorium on rental evictions and the compensation for landlords who reduce the rents of tenants who are doing it tough. You can read all about that HERE.Then we discuss France’s vaccine passport and how people are taking that up with gusto (or shoul...2021-09-0733 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Defects detected and pets rejectedIn this week’s podcast we chat about a report which reveals that one-third of 500 unit blocks inspected in a survey had serious defects, from leaking bathrooms, to fire safety issues..And there’s the stomach-churning claim that some units face remediation bills that will cost more than half the purchase price of the apartments.We also look at a small scale developer who has been ordered by a court to pay more than $1million in compensation, plus legal costs, after their attempts to blame everyone else for the problems in their property fell on deaf ears.LISTEN HEREWe touch brie...2021-08-3124 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Pet regs, kid noise, renos and rantsThere’s a lot to get through in this week’s podcast, not least the new regulations on pets in strata which replace the now defunct blanket bans on pets.Even so, Jimmy finds time to indulge in not one but two full-on rants.But first, we talk about noise, specifically from kids playing in and around strata blocks during lockdown.Is it even reasonable to ask parents to tell their kids to keep the noise down? And should we be bothered if they draw a hopscotch grid on the driveway in chalk?And then there’s the noise from renovat...2021-08-2436 min

The answer is a lot, but still too little.This week, we celebrate our 200th column in the Australian Financial Review (and our 820th in all media).And at the risk of being accused of self-congratulation, it’s a good opportunity to look back on what has changed and what hasn’t in the past four years and beyond.It has to be said that progress has been slow and occasionally faltering, as we look at all the “hot” issues, such as dodgy building developers, the NSW Building Commissio...2021-08-1732 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Pets & renters, prices and owner revoltsThis week’s podcast has placed a ban on the C-word … no, not that one, the other one that’s filling our news bulletins on radio and TV and clogging up our newspapers and online reports.Instead, we start off talking about pets and renters, courtesy of a guest spot Jimmy did on James Valentine’s Afternoons on ABC radio.We’ve snipped out his listeners’ contributions but we’ve left in the insights from Tenants-NSW CEO Leo Patterson Ross about what happens to pet-owning renters who have to move house when a lot of landlords are still saying “no pets”.You can her...2021-08-1036 min

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Shhh … the future will be a lot quieterOn this weeks’ Podcast Sue Williams and JimmyT explore the differences if any that our current locked down, work-from-home life will make to the way we build and live in apartments in the future.Last week we were taking the mickey out of marketers promoting “zoom rooms” … but then we thought about it and agreed, if they were done properly, they could be great.Then we look at the Australian Building (sub)Standards for noise mitigation in apartments which are close to useless even before builders start cutting corners and trimming costs on all the things we can’t see between wa...2021-07-2724 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Covid toolkit and the lure of Zoom roomsCovid kicks off the podcast again this week, unfortunately, but with both Sydney and Melbourne shut down it’s the first thing that springs to everyone’s mind.However there are some new talking points – like the surprisingly handy Strata Covid Toolkit produced by the NSW government last weekend, which we highly recommend.Then, just when they’ve final acquired some Flat Chat Brownie points, the NSW government goes and stuffs it up by issuing Public Health Orders about who can work where, completely ignoring strata and the people who run it.LISTEN HEREThe in some non-covid chat (praise be!), we talk a...2021-07-1929 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: What mixed mask messages really meanThis week’s podcast makes a brave effort to pretend life is going on as normal … and almost pulls it off.We talk about the new DNA for apartment blocks, or the Building Assurance Solution, to give it its proper name, which the NSW government says is going to help track down dodgy developers, just like forensic scientists catching criminals on TV dramas.Then we talk about a development in one of Sydney’s most affluent areas that has seen work halted until problems with the construction are fixed.

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Social housing a Sirius miscalculationAs we emerge from our “close contact” self-isolation we are probably going to have to go back into hiding after the selfie we took of ourselves still at work, despite lockdowns, which appeared in the Fin Review last weekend.Responses have ranged from “a picture-perfect combination of domestic bliss and productivity” to “oh, dear … you look like two crazy old people.”Of course, either or both of these may possibly be true.Back to the podcast, on which we discuss how much (or little) the government is getting out of the controversial sale of the Sirius building.LISTEN HEREWe look at the new foc...2021-07-0524 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Stuck in Darlo with the Covid blues againThere's a saying going around that it's the hope that kills you - and certainly, fans of the Scotland, Sweden, France, Netherlands and German football teams at the European Championships would concur.Of course, it's nonsensense. If anything kills you, it's complacency. You walk around feeling like you're immune and then you find out the person sitting next to you in a cafe definitely wasn't virus-free, and your attitude changes quickly.So in this week’s podcast Sue and I chat about what it’s like to be self-quarantining (we were deemed to have been close contacts with an infected pers...2021-06-2928 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Work cut out for property commissionerWe’re looking at some big news this week on the podcast and wondering what it all means.NSW Fair Trading has announced that they will be appointing a properties commissioner - like building commissioner David Chandler, only maybe without the fear factor – to help regulate all the professions involved in looking after buying, selling, renting and managing properties.What might those professions be? The inaugural appointees of Fair Trading’s Property Services Expert Panel provides a clue. The invitees included strata managers, real estate agents, building facilities managers, real estate trainers and employers, livestock and property agents, business brokers, short-t...2021-06-1532 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Premiums soar thanks to sins of the pastWe admit we can get a little city-centric here at Flat Chat so last weekend it was good to get out of the urban jungle and find out what’s happening elsewhere.And the news is that Newcastle is booming, beach holiday homes are bouncing back and the roads are almost as crazy as they were pre-covid.Back in what passes for the real world, in this week’s Flat Chat we talk about how construction insurance premiums for low rise buildings and renovations are getting out of control, based on this story.LISTEN HEREAnd we chat about the pretty disa...2021-05-2523 min

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Horror of our $700 million defects holeThere’s a horror story, a happy ending and a bit of housekeeping in this week’s podcasts.The horror is the $714 million owed by Home Building Compensation for all the insurable building defects in Australian homes. And that is money that we, the taxpayers, will eventually have to payIt was all revealed in this story in the Sun-Herald which made us think, if that’s the level of defects in homes than can be insured – anything three storeys or under or any work costing $20,000 or over – how may defects are there in the high-rises that CAN’T be insured?Listen HereTh...2021-04-2722 min
The Toasty Kettle PodcastWho Is Jimmy John: My Favorite Sandwich Unwrapped

The Early Years: Who Is Jimmy John

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Another U-Turn as Airbnb history repeatsApologies for subjecting you to another short-term letting vent, but after last week's state government schemozzle when the new holiday rental regulations were announced, then shelved, we thought we’d better have a look at what was going on.And it turns out it was a case of history repeating itself. Remember a couple of years ago when the then Planning Minister Anthony Roberts and former Better Regulation Minister Matt Kean were about to announce new NSW short-term letting regulations that would basically have handed the whole box and dice to Airbnb-style hosts on a plate?The microphones were plugged in...2021-04-2028 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: United by dismay at code of misconductThis week’s podcast touches on three perennial issues in strata – parking, defects and Airbnb-style holiday lets.
The first cab off the rank is a chat abouth the new short-term rentals code of conduct and related issues which seem to have annoyed just about everyone on all sides.
It has certainly annoyed us: the podcast had been recorded, edited, put to bed and then sent out to the world long before the news came in that late on Tuesday night the NSW Planning Minister had put the the whole thing on hold.
I can't say we were entirely surprised - as y...2021-04-1325 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: States’ split is rental as anythingThis week, having survived a computer crisis on the home office front, we delve deeper into the differences between the way renters are treated in Victoria and NSW.In the same week that Victoria’s new rental laws come in, curbing “no reason” evictions of tenants, NSW Fair Trading confirms that they will be reinstated as soon as the post-Covid period is over in September.So why should property owners not have the right to end their tenancy leases when they want to? Why should they need to prove that their reasons are valid, such as showing that they have permiss...2021-04-0625 min

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Dogs banned but NCAT says OK to catsThere’s a few differences in this week’s podcast from previous editions.For a start, Sue is on the other end of a Zoom call as she takes advantage of easing travel restrictions to get out and promote her new book … and finds herself attacked by birds on the Gold Coast.Having survived that, we discuss the latest twist in the pets saga as celebrity dog owners are told they are living in a cats-only block (maybe that's why they call it NCAT).And the Tribunal Member decrees the recent Court of Appeals ruling that blanket pet bans are invali...2021-03-0927 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Pets (again!) with James ValentineEvery so often – about once a month – I get invited on to James Valentine’s Afternoons on ABC 702.Last week the topic was pets in apartments – partly because that was all anyone was talking about.So we had a couple of people ringing up with their pet questions and complaints, all of which has indirectly added to a pet-heavy Flat Chat website this week.And that was exacerbated by my response to a question about whether or not there was a guide to the best dogs for apartments.Listen Here“Oh, yes,” I blithely replied. “You’ll find it on the website.”I wa...2021-02-2326 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: New pet laws and defining ‘reasonable’In this week’s podcast we give the NSW Parliament’s deliberations on it’s new strata pet laws a kick along.As reported here, the Lower House has taken a good six months to deal with a procedural Bill that would have promoted sustainability and tidied up several odd loopholes in strata law.However, it was tagged with an amendment that would have meant pets could only be excluded from apartments if it was detrimental to the animal.Listen HereThe amended Bill, which was approved by the Upper House with its Animal Justice Party alteration, had zero chance of being...2021-02-1622 min

We are still going to talk about the apartment living issues of the day, large and small, to keep you informed and amused.But we’re going to put a clock on it so while our thoughts may occasionally wander down the odd tangent, our chat will never meander.We’re aiming for somewhere between 20 and 25 minutes per episode which is just long...2021-02-0122 min

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Reno regrets and free strata legal adviceIt’s very much a tale of two slices of strata in this week’s Flat Chat Wrap podcast. To begin with, you can listen to two over-privileged, entitled professionals (us) whingeing about what went wrong … and right … when we decided to renovate both bathrooms in our flat at once.BOTH bathrooms? “When I was a lad we had a pothole in the road, and used gravel for toilet paper …” says one of Monty Python’s Yorkshiremen.Listen HereRegular readers of this website will have been following our reno (mis)adventures on this website for the past few weeks so we thought it was...2020-12-1535 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Mascot in court and how to clinch a dealIn this week’s podcast we catch up with what’s happening at Mascot Towers as owners in the ill-starred building prepare for their day in court.Specifically, they will be pursuing legal action against the developers of the apartment block next door, construction of which, they claim, undermined the foundations of their block.Meanwhile they are facing tens of millions of dollars in defect rectification bills to the point where the repairs may cost more than the block is worth.And the people next door say they have pictures of cracks in the Mascot building before they'd so much as t...2020-12-0844 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast: Crazy questions, architects with answersWe turn back the clock – but just a little – for this week’s podcast when we look at the weirdest and wackiest questions asked and problems presented on the Flat Chat Forum in recent months.And we have a long chat with Kathlyn Loseby, President of the NSW chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects as well as COO of Crone Architects.She’ll be talking about the importance of good architecture – and what architects can bring to a building that no other professional can.Listen HereFirst up, though, it’s our cavalcade of chaos starting with a strata manager who won’t le...2020-12-0152 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast 101: Pets and some post-Covid plussesWith most of the worst of the pandemic behind us here in Australia – or, at least, the first and hopefully the last wave of infections – we thought we’d take a few moments in the podcast to discuss positives that have emerged from the months of lockdown and working from home.Apparently, according to a Zoom conference that Sue sat in on (and that’s a great leap forward, right there), technology has advance by five years in the past five months, including having your apartment block’s or office’s lift knowing you are leaving before you’ve even opened your doo...2020-11-2446 min
FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast 100: Upside of a stairlift stand-offThere are two major strands to this week’s podcast.The first stems from a question raised in the Flat Chat Forum, about an apartment owner who wants to install a stairlift – one of those seats that trundles up a staircase – in a narrow common property stairwell.It's for his elderly mother, so you have some sympathy, as you'd have for the other owners who had to squeeze past the rail every day.Listen HereNow the plusses and (many) minuses of this proposal are thrashed out in the Forum but here in the podcast, we have come up with a cunnin...2020-11-1737 minThe Toasty Kettle PodcastWho Was Jimmy Dean: Sausage Reinvented

FLAT CHAT WRAPPodcast 71 – Redesigning flats for work and a legal view of solo meetingsSometimes the way we want to live influences architecture, sometimes architecture influences the way we live.There are still older blocks dotted around Sydney’s harbour suburbs where someone who wanted a penthouse with a view, constructed several floors of units for rent to support (in so many ways) the fabulous pad on the roof.Some original apartment blocks in our inner-cities have tiny kitchens because they originally had restaurants and dining rooms on their roofs (and dumb waiter pulley systems to deliver meals to those who didn’t want to leave their apartments).In this week’s Flat Chat Wrap...2020-04-2835 min
