This may be a local building code matter, that may have changed since the building was built.
Your question may have to do with noise or other issue, which you can discuss with your board to learn more about your options.
You don't.
Homeowners Insurance Policies always exclude preexisting un-repaired damage.
With a house, you typically buy the entire structure and the property it sits on. With a condo, you are simply buying the walls, ceiling and floor around you.
The word condo describes a form of ownership. The word duplex describes the style of a unit. Essentially, a condo could be in the style of a duplex or town house.
It is normally at the discretion of the association, but not required. Usually swim at your own risk. Hope that helps
Fiile a noise complaint with the Condo association and if that doesn't work, the local police department.Added: Loud noises from whom or what? The Condo Association MAY have control over some annoyances but for others you may need the police (as advised above). Speak to your Condo Board of DIrectors to see if they can assist you.
If you live in a second floor condo and you rent the condo, the leak that causes damage is the responsibility of the owner of the building. If you own the condo, the leak is the responsibility of the owner of the condo with the leak.
The leak may be coming from the neighboring condo's bathroom. Pipes run all over - they can leak and come up through the floor or through the walls or ANYTHING. Better get a professional. Should be the associations responsibility.
Not if the condo was built to code.
