In the ongoing saga of the roofs and the 80% maintenance overcharge the latest news comes from the minutes if the RCC meeting on the 6th June:

So, the report which the City (in the form of the BEO) took 9 months to produce is deemed to be deficient, and officers have decided to withdraw it and spend another few months working on a new one.  This time they will work with resident representatives and will have the new report ready for the November RCC meeting.

Prior to the June 6th RCC meeting the Ben Jonson House Group committee discussed this.  Our feeling is there there should be an external audit.  It seems that the BEO has trouble fixing the leaks (there are still leaks), managing the accounts (the BEO took ages to work out how much had been spent on what) and reasonably using warranties which cover works done in that past (not one claim seems to have been made on the warranties, and even getting a copy of the warranty took months, and the now withdrawn report said that actions by the BEO had invalidated any warranties we thought we had (... but perhaps that last bit is not quite true which is why the report has been withdrawn?)).

We have a representative on this newly formed committee and they will be making the case for the house group.
