‘Living in a different realm’: Nassif victim delivers his verdict

Among the many people who tuned in to watch Jean Nassif’s explosive evidence on Tuesday was Patrick Quintal. He’s a resident and strata committee member in the Toplace Vicinity complex in Canterbury, one of the defect-riddled developments Nassif left behind when he fled Australia.

“I would love him to show up in my apartment so I could walk him through the building and show him all the defects and issues one by one. He’s putting up a grand performance to stop haemorrhaging his public image, but you don’t have to look far to see the truth,” Quintal told this masthead.

At Vicinity, owners are still picking up the tab after major structural defects were discovered in parts of the 276-apartment complex, which straddles three buildings on a site next to the Cooks River.

Floor-to-ceiling cracks had appeared in a basement car park and roof beams in some apartments had sagged, while poor waterproofing turned some apartment balconies into waterfalls when it rained.
