Hi all...

First question: We, the condo board, have decided that the best way for unit owners to understand what they can and cannot legally do in their home, and what their rights and requirements are, would be best addressed by a professional. We want to hold a special owners' meeting for this purpose. Anyone out there interested in doing something like this? Would this person be a lawyer or a seasoned condo board president?

Two: Is the unit owner or the condo board responsible for any minimal impact on ceiling seams or related when a building naturally settles a bit?

Thanks.

I am a seasoned board president and in my opinion you need an attorney that specializes in coops and condo's to do this. Every building is different. Their bylaws vary and the responsibilities of the owners vary. If you don't have a building attorney then search one out.
