38-52 College Street Darlinghurst
SP 45205 Darlinghurst Sydney New South Wales
Verdict
Public record: 5 tribunal matters, no building-work orders. A reasonable pre-screen, but not the full picture, the financials and minutes that decide the purchase are in the report, not the registers. Read it, and obtain a section 184 strata search, before you bid.
Cost exposure
Indicative, itemised estimate of what one average lot here could face, built only from this scheme's public-record signals. Indicative ranges, not this building's actual figures, and not financial advice.
Severe- $86,500
Combustible cladding rectification
Indicative per-lot cladding special levies of $15k to $220k (StrataClear 2026; ABC News 2025). Program context: NSW Project Remediate. Scaled for: 1 matter; older scheme.
- $5,600
Tribunal and legal costs
Indicative per-lot share of tribunal and legal costs in a strata dispute (NCAT). Scaled for: 5 matters.

Decisions naming this scheme, from NSW Caselaw (NCAT and the courts). The quoted line beneath each is the decision's own catchwords; the topic tag is our grouping of those words. Whether a matter helped or hurt the scheme is not assessed here.
Statutory-warranty outlook
- Structural cover
- Likely expired · est. expiry 30 November 2000
- Non-structural cover
- Ran to 30 November 2000
A single 7-year warranty period applies because the scheme was registered before the 1 February 2012 reform. Estimated from the registration date, not the completion date or building contract, so treat the dates as indicative.
