Removed snow myself. Do I still need to pay snow removal assessment?


Question:

We received an assessment for removing ice dams and snow. Our association has a policy that they only repair the roof when there are leaks.  After a record snow year the roof was over loaded with snow and we had huge ice dams.  The association hired a 2 man crew to repair leaks and they worked for 30 days. Almost 85% of the people had leaks. All the units surrounding me had $10,000 or more in damages. I was not going to be on a 7 day waiting list while my unit joined the group. I spent 30+ hours removing snow and ice to protect my unit from disaster. The board president told me that I should have waited for the roof to leak. No snow or ice was ever removed from my unit.  Do I have a case? I did pay the assessment, since Massachusetts law requires it.
