Recover Damages For Property Damage In Your Co-Op Share Or Condominium Unit

Your residential share or unit may be damaged through the negligence or misconduct of the building corporation, contractors hired by the board, other residents, or inadequate building maintenance. Water damage from a pipe burst in building systems may destroy your apartment. The building’s roof may leak, damaging your unit and belongings. A contractor hired by the board to perform repairs may negligently damage your unit or common areas. A neighbor’s negligence or willful misconduct may cause damage to your home. The building corporation may allow deferred maintenance and structural deterioration that harms your unit. Environmental contamination or hazardous conditions may render your unit unsafe. When your residential property has been damaged, the responsible party should bear the cost of repair and restoration, not you. Sverd Law Firm has successfully pursued property damage claims on behalf of co-op shareholders and condominium unit owners to recover the full cost of harm caused by negligent or willful conduct.

Types Of Property Damage And Waste Claims In Residential Buildings

Property damage claims arise frequently in co-ops and condominiums. Water intrusion from the building’s roof, exterior walls, pipes, or plumbing systems may damage your unit and belongings. The building corporation may negligently fail to maintain the building’s structure or systems, leading to damage. A contractor hired by the board to perform work may cause property damage through careless or substandard work. A neighbor’s overflow, burst pipe, or negligent conduct may cause water damage to your unit. The building may fail to address known structural defects, resulting in damage to individual units. Common area damage caused by the building’s negligence may affect the value and enjoyment of your share or unit. In each case, the responsible party—whether the building corporation, a negligent contractor, a negligent neighbor, or the building’s management—should bear the cost of restoration.
