Massachusetts Condo Association facing major issues with ice dams

Written by CondoAssociation.com | Wed, Feb 18, 2015 @ 01:00 PM

I live in a (very snowy) Massachusetts Condo Association.

With all of the recent snow, I am concerned that ice dams building up the roof will lead to interior water damage when the snow begins to melt. I’ve taken care of the ice dams on my roof and gutters. However, my neighbors have neglected to do so, which could result in water damage to my condo since our units are adjacent to one another.

Our Board of Directors, who are typically very responsive, have not been treating this issue with the urgency it deserves. If not dealt with proactively, this issue can quickly lead to major damage upon thawing temperatures, which are in the near forecast!

How can I ensure that action is taken before it is too late?
