2./ What was the average cost of the damage
3./ How much was paid by Tenants for damage and how much by KO, Insurance or Other

Dear Mr Murphy
Thank you again for your request of 15 August 2023, for information
related to damage to Kāinga Ora homes.
Part of your request asks for “how many new houses have had damage
reported…”. Could you please clarify what you consider a new home? For
example, we could say that a new home is a new build property that has
been in our stock for less than six months? Would that be acceptable?
Kind regards

Dear Kainga Ora Correspondence,
Thanks. You have not answered the first question unfortunately.
What’s the total cost of damage (on charged or not) from this same subset of data. Repair or maintenance costs broken down as such. These are new houses, so I would not expect much maintenance.
This will allow comparing of total cost spent, vs cost on charged.
Yours sincerely,
