Sorry for the really long reply time on this. Changed jobs and so forth.

I read through the maintenance log book. The tech seems fairly organized. Maintenance tends to happen about every 3 months, as per our contract.

The pit was never painted according to the log book, only rust was removed, this was just prior to flooding. So clearly there is some misscommunication going on. I'd like for the tech to just talk to us when there is a problem but the chances of meeting bumping into him seems small.

The real problem starts with the flooding. The tech otes in the log book that here is 4" of water in the pit. The next day he notes there is about 6" of water in the pit. Five weeks go by and there is 1.5' of water in the pit and there has been electrical damage.

The first time the condo board heard about any of this was after the entire thing, when we got the bill, which was huge.

If the board doesn't have access to look in the pit(not enter) how can we be contractually responsible for maintaining it in good order as per

Lastly, it seems some negligence was involved here with Thyssen. The tech did a good job but something got f'ed up somewhere between him and the board.
