Eagle Automation Systems turned up at the end of A...

Eagle Automation Systems turned up at the end of August 2018 and intentionally disabled our vehicle gates on our car park leaving them wide open for anyone passing to access our property. A few days later the inevitable happened, a neighbour in the next block reported: "this has lead to the opportunistic attempted break in on Saturday evening where an burglar was witnessed by a resident on our roof at 3am who confronted him verbally."

I asked our property manager, Montalt Management, about this and they've told me that they "were not given any advance notice that the vehicle gates would be turned off" but were "made aware of the need for a health and safety upgrade to the gates by Eagle Automation following a visit by the to investigate a fault with the gates on 31 October 2017."

I've struggled to get more detail on this episode. I find it hard to believe that a maintenance firm would just turn up out of the blue and take such drastic action without notice. These upgrades are normally part of a carefully planned path as recommendations and legislation change. Based on past experience, I would assume our inept property manager was to blame for this unfortunate episode. As things stand I can only conclude Eagle Automation Systems put the security of our property and residents at risk.

I shall revise this review as more facts emerge.
