Waiting for JD and or Howie to chime in. I live in a Condo and received a book that rivaled "War and Peace" with all the bylaws, insurance deeds and requirements by the Condo Association. You pay the fees for a reason- the condo board WORKS FOR YOU, THAT'S WHY YOU PAY THOSE FEES. Be firm yet gentle and in writing with a return receipt requested you can get a copy of the report. Whenever you purchase any property always get an inspection by someone of your choice, you pay alittle more but these things can bite you in the backside down the road. As for the octogenarians on the premises believe it or not one day you will become one of them.....
