In every jurisdiction I am aware of, a condo association is made responsible for proper care and maintenance of all "common elements". So the first question is whether the attics are common elements (or limited common elements). If they are common elements the association is usually responsible, and if limited common elements you have to look at the condominium declaration because it may assign primary obligation, but will usually say the association if it's more than one owner that's affected or could be affected.
If the builder is still on the hook, then the builder is responsible to the association. if the lack of ventilation was caused by the unit owner (blocking up a vent, say) the unit owner would be responsible to the association for damaging the common elements.
In any event every condominium association should have its own legal counsel, and I suggest the association engages counsel for this purpose.
The air moved by an attic ventilation fan blows out, sucking in fresh cooler air through the intake vents, commonly around the eaves or overhangs of the attic.
Not sure about ridding it of the existing mold, but the conditions which caused it can usually be remedied with adequate attic ventilation. Call an experienced roofer or contractor or have your attic ventilation system inspected.
Proper attic ventilation help reduce energy bills and extends the life of the roof. Temperature can be lost through the attic if not ventilated properly. Ventilation can also help keep homes safe and free from any structural damages.
Home attic ventilation is a necessity for every home. There are 2 main reasons why attic ventilation is a must. Heat accumulation and moisture damage are issues that can hinder homeowners depending on the season. Heat Accumulation During the warm and hot months, heat accumulates in the attic. When Summer is at it’s peak and temperatures near 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the attic can reach over 150 degrees. If a home has poorly insulated ceilings, the air conditioner spends more time running than necessary. This can really affect the electric bills. Adding attic ventilation can reduce the temperature of the attic to only 5-10 degrees above the outside heat temperature. This greatly reduces the demand on your air conditioner. The affect is lower electric bills. Attic ventilation helps hot air to escape the attic. Without proper ventilation, hot air is trapped in the attic. Ventilation gives hot air a means to get out of the attic. Moisture Damage Winter brings cold, damp days. The moisture gets trapped in the rafters and attic space. Without ventilation, the moisture builds up in the attic, which can lead to damage. Moisture speeds up deterioration of insulation and other materials found in the attic. In addition to the deterioration, you can wind up with a serious mold issue. Anytime you have to get mold removal services, you are talking high expense. Ventilation enables fresh air to clear out moisture and prevent it from building up. Types of Ventilation There are a few different types of ventilation. Natural vents allow nature to do it’s job of providing fresh air and pushing out heat and moisture. Attic fans can be a great ventilation tool. Attic fans can be electric and solar. The cost of running electric fans are still cheaper than the cost of heat and moisture remaining in your attic. Solar fans are economical because you purchase them, install them and the costs are over, while the benefits continue. Attic heat and moisture can cause unwanted expenses for home owners. The simplest solution is proper attic ventilation. Home owners have a number of choices in ventilation options. No matter what choice for ventilation a home owner chooses, ventilation is a necessity to lower electric bills and prevent moisture damage.
The Federal Housing Administration recommends that you have at least one square foot of attic ventilation for every 300 feet of attic space. You can find out if you have enough by figuring out how many square feet you have in your attic and then figure out the lineal feet that your exhaust fan puts out.
Yes, it is recommended to have proper attic ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, heat accumulation, and to extend the life of the roof. Ventilation helps regulate temperature and humidity levels in the attic, which can reduce the risk of mold growth and damage to the structure.
Broan parts can be used for ventilation in houses - they sell bath and shower ventilation systems, range hood ventilation parts, attic ventilation, heaters, and also parts for trash compaction systems.
As long as you have adequate ventilation elsewhere in the attic
It will take ventilation and time.
Depends how much weed your growing.
I believe it's 1/300
I would recommend putting in roof vents. We have this same problem with our attic and we have put in roof vents and also insulated it so that we can keep the heat down throughout the rest of the house.
