Look - that's a hole at the bottom of the stairs.

It listed the issue as "Incomplete Fire Stair: Drops to certain death.


Sydney is no stranger to apartment defects, but the deadly drop found in this one could set a new benchmark for danger.

The report found that while the hole was addressed in April, a gap still existed in the stairs two months later that was large enough "children may still fall through".

Slippery Sam won't fix it


But Piety Group has declined to rectify several other issues it said were maintenance matters including water pooling outside Building D, cracked tiles at the entrance to Building E, and efflorescence (residual marks) on an exterior stairway.

You're a lawyer -
who will be charged with manslaughter when someone falls down that hole and dies?
It's a very long fall.
