Re: A letter describing a Special Assessment to "repipe the ENTIRE (my caps) building" was mailed to the owners of the Condo where I live. The majority of owners who voted approved the assessment.
I now find that I am going to have to also replace the pipes in my unit (under the sinks).
As required by law the assessment was described-the total amount of the assessment, the length of the assessment, the total amount to each owner. There was nothing in the letter that informed me that I would have to pay an additional sum to have my pipes replaced.
Because the letter stated that the money was used to re-pipe the ENTIRE building and did not specify only the common area and, inasmuch as there was no mention of any additional costs to me, the individual unit owner, I am wondering if I must replace the pipes under my sink.
Shouldn't the assessment letter have stated that there "could" be an additional charge to me for replacement of pipes within the individual unit?
