What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ

Seeking advice on how to deal with our situation:

We have some water damage inside our apartment due to holes/ cracks in the external wall and the roof of our brownstone building. This was discovered and reported to the condo assoc back in Sept 2010.

As of today, the external repair still had not be carried out (long story; but during this time, we also switched from being self-managed to a professional management company), and hence we still had not repaired the internal damage.

we're starting to get VERY frustrated at the situation, and is wondering:

(a) what can we do, and what can we tell the condo assoc, to get the repairs (both external and internal) done asap

(b) is the condo assoc also responsible for repairing for the damage inside our apartment (caused by the external holes and roof)?

Advice would be much appreciated.

**A: tell them to fix or you'll sue the Board and its officers/directors indivdually.

(b) is the condo assoc also responsible for repairing for the damage inside our apartment (caused by the external holes and roof)?


**A: yes since the damage was caused by common area components failing.
