I live in the bottom unit of a condominium that is 3 stories high (there are three other units above my unit). Water leaked from the top unit ( third floor condo # 13) into my condo , unit #1 causing considerable damage. The owner of unit 13 rents his unit out, and has refused to do anything about the water damage done to my unit, though the condo management has determined it was from his unit the water originated (a plumbing leak) and that the leak was his responsibility and not the associations. He repaired the leak.
This guy owns 50 other properties in the area and has a reputation for being very offensive in such matters. His methods have been described to me as mendacious at best!
I had to send him a registered letter to finally get in touch with him. Upon receiving my letter he called my answering service, but left a totally incorrect call back phone number; luckliely I have caller ID .
When I called back he first claimed to have never received a letter from the condo association informing him of any leak into my unit; though I used the same address from the copy sent him by the association to send the registered letter; and the fact that he admits having to do plumbing repair in his unit after the association got on him proves that he received the letter from the association; but he still denies any responsibility for my unit.
What to do??
