Sick building due to mould and poor ventilation
We purchased a unit in Fynbos Lifestyle estate from Baldwin last year October.We took occupation in December. We noticed mould on the skirtings and behind the cupboards.We logged this complaint and they told us because the appartment was empty and windows were closed we must wipe it off and open the windows.We did and rented out the unit to a family with a 7 year old daughter.The mould was back and everywhere cupboards,clothing food.But most importantly the child kept getting ill.Tired of baldwins band aid approach and them telling people to open windows and doors during capetown winter,we sought help from a professional mould company at the cost of 5800 for them to do an inspection of the mould and air quality.Their extensive report consisting of air and mould samples taken have shown that the unit was suffering from sick or tight building condtion with inadequate ventilation and some rooms being unsafe to live in.There was also a leak picked up.This report was given to Baldwin and their parties to properly rectify the situation.Its been 4 months since the report,Baldwin has sent numerous inspectors hap hazardly in an out of the unit disruptive the occupants family life and privacy making a mess,all the while they continue to get ill and the mould continues to spread like wildfire.We are not the only ones experiencing this there are 53 other units experincing mould and poor ventilation in the units causing illnesses.They are aware of this problem and they literally dont care!I have the names of the occupants and their pictures doctors reports and etc to prove that living in these units is UNSAFE FOR HEALTH! They just dont care
