I have just purchased an apartment in western sydney. I've done various inspections but none at night. Last night i went over to show my folks the place i'd bought when i heard the whole roof vibrating. It is caused by an exhaust fan on my roof from the chinese restaurant down stairs which only operates at night.
I'm afraid i'll have trouble keeping tennants with this noise... does anyone out there know how to handle this problem legally in australia??? I want to know as much as i can before i approach the body corporate and the owner of the restaurant. Any help would be appreciated.

have the costs involved in sound proofing the area, better yet replace the fan most are screwed up and out of balance if there is vibration, get it taken care of, c if it can be put on their side wall and not where it causes problems, we deal with three hundred tons of crap on top of universities here and all that stuff is subject to replacement if it is noisy or obsolete or defective in application this is normal stuff ti hire a contractor to handle:piece of cake

Though I am in America, I am an electrician who has installed and replaced motors in exhaust fans. There is not much you can do for the motor noise, but rubber isolation pads could be used to help with the vibration.

If the fan is old and worn out. Try helping with cost of replaceing it. It should not vibrate the whole building. My stepfather had rental property and sometimes you have to bite the bullet and spend money to make it.

you have some thoughts, you could bypass today to the police and make a grievance of intense noise which the police are oblidged to check out, until they suspect the grievance is frivolous. Your community government/ council would desire to have legislations or a consolidated act and is the reason the technique you will desire to bypass via, so the council is yet another sturdy place to submit a grievance for bpth extra noise disturbance and development code violation (if appropriate), like the liquor licensing act has legislations for extra noise.If this fails possibly a bypass to to the place of work of truthful procuring and merchandising would help.

Throw a Fosters in the fan and watch it slow down.

Your best bet before jumping the gun is to talk to the restauraunt owner first to show your concerns. Maybe he'll be nice enough to fix it, it shouldn't be a big deal.
