Our condo association master deed states that the association is responsible for maintenance, repair and restoration of common elements. Included in common elements are girders, beams, supports, structural and bearing parts, main walls and subfloors.

If a condo owner requests that their sunken subfloor be repaired, what latitude does the association have in responding to such a request? If the subfloor does not represent a safety hazard would that be grounds to deny the request? What are the legal precedents for such situations? Anything else that should be considered?

Thanks

Andy, If your Condo has limited funds they may not be financially able to fix this problem. I would evaluate the annual operating budget, the annual reserve budget, the long range reserve budget, and a prioritized list of repair work unless there is an immediate safety problem which would move up the priority of this repair work.
