During a recent government meeting, officials discussed significant property damage at a condominium unit located just off Missouri. The focus was on unit 202, which has sustained severe rot around its windows, raising concerns about compliance and necessary repairs. A licensed contractor has been recommended to obtain and complete the required permits for repairs by January 11, 2024, or face a daily fine of $150 if violations persist.

The discussion revealed that the damage is primarily due to water penetration from the outside, rather than issues stemming from the roof above. The homeowner had permitted an inspection, which led to the discovery of the damage. Questions arose regarding the timeline for repairs, with some board members expressing concern that the five-month period for compliance is unusually long. However, the contractor involved indicated that extensions had been requested due to the complexity of the situation.

The board also heard from representatives of the condominium association, who detailed their efforts to address the damage. Following the initial violation notice, they engaged multiple contractors for inspections and proposals. Ultimately, they decided to work with HydroScout for water testing, which is crucial to determining the extent of the repairs needed. The association acknowledged that if extensive repairs are required, the process could take up to six months.

The meeting underscored the challenges faced by the condominium association in managing the repairs and compliance with city regulations, while also highlighting the importance of timely action to prevent further deterioration of the property.
