Our MC, which I have serious doubts about, seems to select items to bring to the board. For instance - at our most recent meeting he presented to invoices for a co-owners plumbing issues - having toilet snaked twice in a 10 month period. This woman had the most expensive plumber around - $400 each time. Our MC wants to pay for these bills -

Yet, when a co-owner has major water damage to his walls from a poorly maintained roof for which the association is responsible. The co-owner contacted the MC and was told to go ahead and have the damage repaired. When the work was being repaired there was damage to the supports and they needed to be replaced. The co-owner took pictures throughout the process, he sent copies along with the invoices to the MC for reimbursement. The MC basically told him thanks for keeping me informed. . . we don't cover your damage. I found this out from the co-owner - the MC never mentioned it to the board.

If the association is liable for the roof, why is it not responsible if the roof is in poor condition, for the damages?

Mary, this illustrates the importance of understanding what will be paid prior to correction if possible. And to get written approval when possible. It does appear that either the MC is biased or the man did not communicate effectively. I would send a letter to the Board requesting reimbursement and ask why the MC is making decisions which should be made by the Board.
