We have had black mold issues up and down in this building and everytime there is a leak our board hold it's breath.

Recently we had a horrific leak and in the end mold was found between three units as a result. One of our HOA board members unit is involved. SHe is asking not to be informed of anything except our out come in regard to liability and repair. I directed the board member to contact her homeowner's insurance and follow that route as the board is not qualified to justify liability or not on anyone or the HOA.

Is it common regarding mold issues to have the insurance come out and inspect along with the Mold Inspectos we have hired as hoa??

Francesca,
I would think it is proper to notify all units involved that they should notify their Homeowners policy holder.

I would think it would be proper to encoutage the interaction between the insurance companies. I see nothing wrong with a Board member being directly involved with her personal problem. All the Board has to do is not show favoritism.

Now, why did the Board hire some Mold inspectors? Don't your association insurance cover your interests. Is common property involved? Why would you exclude the Board member from any information and why would the Board exclude those effected from any information and why not inform everyone of what is going on?
