As a co-op apartment owner, you are typically responsible for repairs and maintenance within the walls of your specific unit. This includes fixing issues with Plumbing, electrical systems, and appliances that are part of your unit. Common areas and structural elements of the building are typically maintained by the co-op corporation and the responsibility for repairs lies with them. However, it's best to review your specific co-op's governing documents or consult with the co-op board to get a clear understanding of repair responsibilities.
