Re: waranty 1 year

If the salt would destroy the asphalt and if the HOA knew or should have known, then their suit will not succeed. If they used an unforseeable amount of salt, then their suit will not succeed. Your case has a lot of specific facts which limit any answer here. You may call for a free consultation.

BTW the LLC will protect you from any personal liability.
