We are the second owners of our property.
The previous owners engaged an unlicensed plumber to connect the home stormwater to the water tank (so there is no compliance certificate).
This work was found by forensic plumbers to be non-compliant.
The Building Surveyor (BS) who issued the Occupancy Permit (OP) for our property, did so without sighting the water tank plumbing compliance certificate.
We filed a complaint to the VBA against the BS and the VBA agreed that the BS was in the wrong, and that disciplinary action will be taken against him.
However, the VBA said that they cannot help us seek compensation for the non-compliant work.
Who should I be speaking with to seek compensation/rectification? Is the builder responsible for the Building Surveyor?
