What was the cause of the leak? If the leak was caused by something that is the coop's responsibility, the coop should take care of the repair. If not, the owner of the apartment causing the leak is responsible. Whether the insurance co. for either party is contacted or not is up to the parties. If it is the coop's responsibility, you need to decide who will do the repair and when access is available. If it's not the coop's responsibility, we usually let the parties work it out.
