I am first owner of condo built 15 years ago. Had hot water heater replaced recently. Took two weeks to replace. During this time, my neighbor upstairs was without hot water only in his kitchen. Each unit has its own hot water heater. HOA pays for water, we pay for gas to heat it. Discovered that builders crossed pipes and took hot water from MY unit to his kitchen! All other water for his unit comes from his own hot water heater.
No luck finding the original builders. Believed that they are no longer in business after 15 years. I have been paying to heat water for that kitchen for 15 years! Now being threatened by upstairs unit's real estate manager of law suit to pay half of repair charges.
I don't remember them paying a portion of the new water heater that they've been using! I believe I have paid enough because of this mistake! THEY need to make the correction I'm their unit to obtain THEIR hot water!
Does anyone know what the law says about issues like this?
