Execution of Repairs and Right of Access

(a) (i) Every Member shall permit the Society, its Committee, employees, contractors, Architects, Structural Engineers, Licensed Plumbers, Electricians or other authorised representatives, after giving reasonable notice, except in cases of emergency, to enter the flat/unit for carrying out inspection, maintenance, repairs, replacement of common services, structural audit or compliance with statutory requirements.

(b) (ii) Where the Society is responsible for carrying out the repairs under these Bye-laws, the Member shall provide all reasonable cooperation and access required for execution of such repairs.

(d) (iv) If a Member fails to provide access or fails to carry out the repairs for which the Member is responsible within the time specified by the Committee, and such failure is likely to endanger the building, common services, any other flat/unit or the safety of any person, the Society may, after giving reasonable notice, carry out the necessary repairs or works and recover the actual cost incurred from the Member as dues of the Society.

(e) (v) In cases of emergency involving danger to life or property, risk of structural damage, fire, flooding, leakage, failure of essential services or any other urgent situation, the Society may enter the flat/unit without prior notice, to the extent reasonably necessary to remove the danger, restore essential services or prevent further damage.

(f) (vi) The Society shall, while carrying out any work under this Bye-law, take reasonable care to minimise inconvenience and damage to the flat/unit and shall restore the affected portion, as far as reasonably practicable, to its original condition, except where restoration forms part of the Member's responsibility under these Bye-laws.
