3B That Pipe is in the Wall - I’m Not Going to Pay for it: Common Elements, Limited Common Elements, Units— Who is Responsible for Repairs and Who Pays?

Presented by Michelle Ein, Law Offices of James L. Strichartz and Jo Flannery, Ryan, Swanson & Cleveland, PLLC

Two experienced association lawyers will walk you through the most frequently asked about annoying/frustrating/confiding topic, tripping up condominium associations today. Explore the vexing territory that follows the innocent question: “Who’s responsibility is that?” or “Who pays for that?” Special charges and allocations to individual owners have become more and more complex and Declarations are replete with add on items that can or must be charged to individual owners. It is often difficult to determine how a particular item that needs repair should be treated. We will work through classic examples like, “How much of this exterior deck repair project is an individual owner’s responsibility”; “Is this pipe in the wall a limited common element”; Why can’t I replace my entire window or rip off siding to do my own unit repairs?” and other similar conundrums.
