PA Condo Owner Not Sure Who's Responsible for Patios and Balconies


Question:

I am looking for information on where I can find in the declaration about patios and balconies and who is responsible for any repairs. We have a patio on 1st floor and a balcony on second floor adjacent to each other. The owner on the 2 nod floor spend over $6,000 to restore his balcony due to leaking water to the 1st floor patio. Now the 1st floor owner is still complaining about water leaking and causing damage to lights fixtures on both sides of the patio and patio floor has big crack in cement and the railing around the patio is coming up out of the cement.

I read our docs and it states owner is responsible for the patio or balconies and yet I find other stuff on Internet that is questionable. I have the original docs from the contractor but it is old and never updated. I am getting with the management manger on Monday and would like to have some info for him as they are new with us.

I say owner responsible, but not sure about the railings. Owner on 2nd floor said he has had enough and is not doing anymore to his balcony. First floor owner was turned down by her insurance company and she is coming for US. Any input would help. 15 units in PA, and never had this problem before. Thanks.
