Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey
plumbing in a co-op apartment
My Super discovered corroding plumbing
connections that were behind cabinetry
(bad repair before I bought it). The
plumber needs to open a wall to make
ALL repairs. My expense or all
shareholders expense?

Re: plumbing in a co-op apartment
Look at your Master Deed and By-Laws, but generally ((0%+ of the time) the unit owner is responsible "from the walls in", which means if it is in the walls, or above your ceiling (which includes plumbing, roofing the roof sheathing, etc.), it is an association common expense. The association may tell you differently, but look at the controlling documents!
