Are pipes between the interior and exterior walls of a condo considered common area?
You can find the answer you want in your state's condominium law, where ownership default boundaries may be defined. Then, you can read your governing documents to determine whether the state's default boundaries have been adjusted by your declaration.Knowing this detail is important when insuring your condominium, because if you are responsible to repair damage to your unit caused by a pipe leaking or bursting, then having the appropriate insurance coverage is best.Every set of condominium governing documents is different; every state condominium law defines boundaries and ownership defaults differently.

Read your governing documents to determine who owns the water pipe. If the pipes are for the sole use of a single owner, then the pipe may be considered 'limited common area', and the owner may be responsible for repair. The association may make the repair, then charge the owner. If the pipes are for the use of everyone in the community, such as pipes for a sprinkler system, then the association's policy may cover the cost of repair. Usually, one party is responsible for the repair and one party is responsible for paying for the repair. The 'one party' may be the same party, or it may be different parties.
Can a HOA resident manager change the settings of the thermostat in another owners condo?
The only situation that I can imagine where the resident manager would gain access to a condominium without an owner's request or permission is this: A cold snap threatens to freeze pipes in the geography, and the condominium's temperature is not regulated to prevent pipes within the unit from freezing. Then, the resident manager would be required to enter a condominium and set the thermostat high enough to prevent the pipes from freezing. In the case of an unoccupied unit, or a bank-owned unit, this action can become problematic, since often there is now power to heat the unit.
