## What do you think? Question:

I live in a condo in Illinois that is governed under the condo act. The cement apron under my garage door has buckled to the point that the door gaps almost 3" at one end. My association says that repair is my responsibility since the use is confined to one owner. My question: Why wouldn't this be considered a building foundation issue? There is also cracking in areas of the garage floor.
