The developer of an apartment block neighbouring the beleaguered Mascot Towers in Sydney has hit back at fresh claims it could be to blame for the building’s cracks, as owners agreed to pay a special $7 million (US$4.7 million) levy.
Residents of the 132 Mascot apartments, who were evacuated in mid-June due to cracking in the primary support structure and facade masonry, have been living in temporary accommodation ever since.
