I am not making a statement about the facts involved, because I don’t know, but if the owner(S) of this and all other apartment complexes have been blindsided by the Biden/covid rent holiday, then how are any landlords expected to accomplish any maintenance with no rent coming in?
This building is condos that sell for $600,000 to $700,000. We know there was delayed maintenance and shoddy work done on crucial structural repairs.
Yet who are the owners going to sue? Each other?
As I understand it, the building has been sinking 2cm a year for a number of years now and there's an ongoing lawsuit about it. The management company of the building and the building construction company were also informed of significant cracks in the parking garage under the building. They were "patching" them and telling residents the cracks weren't any major concern.
I'm no legal expert here but I'm guessing the ongoing lawsuits just got a whole lot more expensive for the defendants (management company, construction company.)
these are condos not apartments. They are individually owned
It was a condominium. Each unit is individually owned. The owners vote for people to serve on the Board. The Board runs the building.
If the Board called for a special assessment to pay for the structural issues, and the owners did not approve it, then it is the OWNERS who are at fault.
