In a strata building, I understand the front door at the entry to the individual unit is considered common property. If Drop Seals are installed on the front door, should this be the financial responsibility of the Owners Corporation or the individual lot owners?
The fire door drop seal is common property and should be paid for by strata.
Drop seals are used on fire doors if the gap between the door and the frame exceeds the requirements of the Building Code of Australia standards.
The fire door belongs to the owners corporation and the drop seal forms part of common property and is installed to meet fire compliance requirements. The fire door drop seal is common property and should be paid for by strata.
