Hello
I am a recently first time buyer of a condo in Norwalk, CT.
Our complex consists of 3 duplexes, 6 units in all.
A breif hitory of our "association". It was basically a couple of disorganized, apathetic residents most of whom have since moved (3 units sold in 2 months) and the new residents have inherited their financial neglect and $4000 in debt owed to snow plowers, landscapers and garbage removal. we have since paid it off at our expense. I was informed upon my moving in that I was the new VP.
Anyway, many parts of the exterior of the complex are in disrepair, the biggest of which is the retaining wall adjacent to my unit. It is rotting and falling apart and is a haven for vermin.
What our treasurer is basically tells me is if I want it fixed that I have to pay for it myself. $6500 out of my pocket. I say that its considered to be common property as when I bought my condo, the retaining wall is not considered to be part of my property. Should I try to put this thru insurance or get an attorney? The broken wall is contributing to severe erosion of the property. Its a 2 foot drop from the bottom step of my deck to the ground because all of the soil has washed away...advice, anyone?
