A former strata company director has seen her licence being cancelled after obstructing an investigation by the NSW watchdog.
NSW Fair Trading has cancelled former Result Strata director Yun Yang’s licence, disqualified her from managing a licensed business and fined her after finding she obstructed regulatory efforts to take control of the company.
Yang’s action followed a 2025 NSW Fair Trading investigation into Result Strata Management, which uncovered several compliance failures, including inadequate conflict of interest disclosures and breaches of professional conduct obligations.
As part of the regulatory intervention, the regulator appointed a manager to take control of the business, secure its records and safeguard the interests of affected owners corporations.
However, when the manager arrived at the company’s offices, the locks had been changed and the premises had been cleared, leaving them unable to access the records and other materials needed to perform their duties.
The blocking of the watchdog’s probe was then linked back to Yang.
NSW Fair Trading found Yang had deliberately obstructed the appointed manager by helping remove computers, electronic equipment and other office assets required to access company records and carry out their duties.
Yang has now had her licence cancelled and been barred from directing, managing or conducting any licensed business. She was also fined over her conduct.
The disciplinary action marks the second time a Result Strata boss has had their licence revoked.
Last year, the watchdog’s investigation saw the company and its general manager, Michael Lee, lose their licences and permanently disqualified from operating in the NSW strata sector.
The regulator found the business repeatedly breached its legal and professional obligations, including conflict disclosure, fee charging, fire and safety compliance, insurance and owner communication.
Lee was also found to have obstructed NSW Fair Trading officers during the execution of a search warrant.
The decisions against Lee and Result Strata are currently before the Supreme Court, with both parties challenging NSW Fair Trading’s action.
Strata and Property Services commissioner Angus Abadee said the action against Yang reinforced the watchdog commitment to ensure the integrity of the strata management sector.
“Strata managers are entrusted with significant responsibilities on behalf of owners and residents, and they must meet the professional and ethical standards expected of the industry,” Abadee said.
Abadee said the government has committed $8.4 million to the Strata and Property Taskforce, bringing together specialist inspectors, investigators and dispute resolution experts to target misconduct, strengthen industry standards and better protect consumers.
“Where we identify misconduct, we will use the full range of regulatory tools available to protect consumers and maintain confidence in the sector.”
“We expect individuals and businesses to cooperate with regulatory investigations and interventions. Attempts to obstruct those processes are unacceptable,” he said.
