My question involves a condominium located in the State of: Illinois
I am in a condominium, and last year the neighbor above replaced his bath tub. We started seeing moist drywall above our bath tub occasionally. I informed him and he says its not his leak. It happens sometimes (not all the time) when he is taking a bath or shower, not sure which. He has seen the leak in our condo but he thinks its from somewhere else. I contacted the association and they attempted to talk to the neighbor and he won't let anybody in his condo to investigate. They did go into another apartment above and they resealed their bathroom to see if it was somebody else, but it didn't fix it. Meanwhile association removed drywall above our bath and we can see wet insulation thats turning into a gray/black gooky mess. Meanwhile, association can't seem to do anything and the neighbor is not doing anything. This is not a common component of the building, and the association claims they don't really have any right to force him to do anything. Can I do anything? I was thinking about insurance claim? health department? Try to get it fixed from below his tub? does our association really have no power to do anything? I haven't called a plumber yet as I really shouldn't need to, he should, but he is not caring at all as its not dripping into his apartment. Plus, to tell you the truth, the guy is a drunk who has been arrested several times, can be violent, and I don't really want to interact with him. In fact the association told me they are more interested in trying to get him out of the building than to get the leak fixed right now. Now I have a 3 ft drywall hole above the shower and its kind of creepy and I can't live like this perpetually. I do have homeowners insurance, but I haven't called Allstate yet.. Any advise would be helpful.
