Much like with the amenities within the building being maintained, oftentimes the exterior of your condo is also maintained and upgraded or repaired by the building. This could be exterior patios and decks, roofing, siding, fire escapes, etc. While in most cases the exterior of your home is indeed maintained by the building, it is important to look at everything that is covered by the building or HOA and what items are the homeowner’s responsibility so that you know what to expect moving forward.
Location
