Illinois
The condo's retaining wall next to our property is cracked and failing. This broken retaining wall is directly bearing on a masonry support wall on our property.
We have been trying to get the condo association to fix both walls for 18 months and we cannot even get a response. Their lawyer will not return our calls. Three contractors have told us it is the condo's responsibility.
My question is - if we fix our side only and their walls falls (which is a very real possibility) can we be held legally responsible? Our wall is held up with supports and is very dangerous.
Thank you. Any advice will be appreciated.
