How do I get condo board to act on mold problem?


Question:

I smell mold/mildew every time I approach a common area that leads into my condominium. I know the roofs are scheduled for cleaning, but the walkways are hazardous from algae and now this mold odor. How far can I push the association to remedy this potential mold/mildew problem. There are children and older adults/seniors who live here and I am concerned for my own health as well as to the risk this algae/mold presents. My association is so quick to jump on the silliest violations and threats of fines, but very slow to respond to owners complaints and fixing problems despite their promises. The road to hell is lined with good intentions...Should I attend a board meeting and bring up the concern even though the last time I attended I WAS SHAMED BY THE ASSOCIATION and not backed by any board members. I've lived here for over 30 years and keep my mouth shut and am ready to rent a pressure washer and bleach and at least get the walkways and steps cleaned up. I slipped once on the steps up to my third floor unit due to algae buildup on the steps.  Georgia.
