A high volume of open building orders in Paddington relative to similar suburbs in the City of Sydney area could reflect several things: an older housing stock with accumulated maintenance debt, an active council compliance team issuing orders that other councils would leave unrecorded, or a specific cluster of problematic buildings. Understanding which of these explains the data requires a closer look at the order types. A single large strata scheme with multiple fire-safety orders can skew the suburb count significantly.
