Hello,

Apologies for posting in English but my French is not good enough to explain properly.

We recently bought our first apartment. Upon getting the keys, we were told that the front door doesn't close.
We live in Brussels 1000, and learnt after going there together that the front door, on the street, just opens when someone pushes against it.

Total safety nightmare!

I called the man in charge of the syndic and he said it is necessary to wait until the end of October to have a general meeting and a vote on replacing the door with a new door. In the meantime the lock can be changed, but he said it always breaks after one or two days.

What can we do here? Obviously I feel this is an emergency and we need a new door immediately! How can we make this clear and create the situation where they fix the door tomorrow?

I think all the other people who live in the building rent, and as such probably don't even know his name, or contact..

Any and all help very welcome!

Thank you,
Ella
