My question involves a condominium located in the State of: CT
I recently had water damage in my ground floor condo, which was caused by a common drainage line from other condos in my building. The damage was to an area where I have laminate flooring (installed by a previous owner). The association has agreed that they were responsible for water damage stemming from a common line and that they would be responsible for repairs. Specifically, they would get the estimates and hire a contractor to make repairs.
At the time of the leak, the association called in a third party to clean and dry the damaged area. During the clean up the third party removed the laminate flooring due to buckling from the water damage, at which time the original tile flooring underneath became loose. The tiles were tested and found to contain asbestos.
Just before repairs were to begin, I had a member of the association maintenance team walk me through the abatement process and it was revealed to me that the asbestos abatement would be my financial responsibility. I have not allowed them to begin repairs.
I have also not seen an incident report or copy of the asbestos test results despite multiple requests.
Should the association be responsible for the abatement? What recourse do I have?
Thanks in advance.
