Living in a nine unit building, one of our units has water damage in several places on the walls inside the unit immediately adjacent to several window frames due to recent heavy rain. Our CC&R's say "the exterior of a perimeter wall" is the HOA's responsibility while "the interior of a perimeter wall" is the individual owner's responsibility, and the glass portion of a window is also the individual owner's responsibility (for example, a broken window). However, there is no mention in our CC&R's of damages resulting from a faulty window frame or casing, and the window frame is basically the border between the interior and exterior portion of a perimeter wall. Any guidance on who should pay for the repairs to the window frames and resulting water damage, as a general rule, particularly in California in case this locale makes any difference?
