Read your governing documents to determine whether or not the private-use balcony is considered 'limited common area'.
If it is, the association is responsible for its upkeep. You may be responsible for keeping it neat and tidy.
If the balcony was damaged, for example, during a wind storm: something beyond your control, the association is probably responsible for repairing the damage.
However, if the damage occurred because of your misuse or abuse of the balcony, the association may require that you pay for the damage.
(Recently, a sub-contractor in Seattle removed slats from high-rise balconies rendering them unusable and frankly dangerous, because the association refused to pay for the sub-contractor's work. In this case, the courts will probably decide who is responsible for the repairs.)

Your answer depends on who owns the balconies. Read your governing documents to determine who owns the balcony that requires cleaning.

If it is individually owned, then the owner is responsible for cleaning it.

Does condo association pay for repairing mold damage?
It depends on the specific circumstances and the terms outlined in the condo association's bylaws or governing documents. In some cases, the condo association may be responsible for repairing mold damage if it is a result of common areas or shared systems. However, if the mold damage is due to the negligence of a unit owner or resident, they may be held responsible for the repairs. It is best to consult the condo association's governing documents and speak with the association board for specific information.

IF my upstairs condo is untouched by a flood but the building's ground floor is damaged so badly that the entire building is unlivable would my flood insurance protect me?
Let's first review what a condo is. A condominium is an arrangement in which you own your own living space outright (your condo apartment), and you share joint ownership (with all the other condo owners) of the common spaces. There will be (at least) two insurance policies in effect: (1) the condo association policy, which covers (at least) the common areas, and (2) your own personal policy, which covers the contents of your condo apartment, and depending upon your coverage, may also cover the internal structural elements (walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, countertops, etc.) of your specific condo unit. Since there is no damage to your condo unit, your personal condo insurance will probably not apply, even if you have flood insurance. So, the answer to your question depends upon what type of policy your condo association holds. You should therefore ask your condo association.
