I don't know if its their responsibility or yours. That would depend on the language in the homeowners agreement and the other official documents.

The structural problems you describe, from what you have provided, are not clearly serious enough to worry about. It could be a relatively minor settling thing only and replacing the door might actually solve the problem.

Getting another lawyer involved will definately result in more legal action so if that is what you desire go for it.

Myself, I would recommend a second or third opinion by a good Architect or Engineer paid by you.

I'd say you have about an 85% chance that will solve your problem with the door.

If you have that itch for some fighting though, maybe only the attorney angle will solve it.

Good luck.
