Carltion Apartment Block Owners Dispute Leaves Residents Struggling with Maintenance Issues.

A dispute between two owners' corporations at Vic Apartments in Carlton, Melbourne, has left residents scrambling for funds to address maintenance issues, including ageing lifts, cracked concrete, and broken windows. The conflict stems from competing claims for legitimacy, with two different committees holding AGMs in 2021. Residents have reported disgusting carpets, slow lifts, and cracked windows, with some owners facing levy notices. The building, mainly occupied by international students, has been plagued by poor governance and dysfunction for years.
