Condo Leaking Into Unit Below Who's Responsible

Chris G.
Posted

Manage unit at condominium on the 3rd floor, the owner/ resident below on the second floor says every time the tenant takes a shower in the guest bathroom it leaks on their ceiling and causes water damage. Spoke with a plumber and the only way to fix this issue is by cutting a whole in the ceiling of the 2nd floor unit and fixing the plumbing.

Recently the association for this complex changed and I cannot get hold of the owner or association regarding this issue to see the new declaration. Does this seem like something we would be responsible for and should go ahead and send a plumber to the 2nd story unit to cut a hole in their ceiling to repair the plumbing? Then I guess we would have to send out someone to patch the ceiling after too, or does this sound like something the association would be responsible for.

I see most associations saying owners needs to maintain plumbing but I don't see how we can "maintain" it if the only access is by cutting a hole in the unit below ceiling.
