## What do you think? Question:

Are the main drainage pipes in the walls and under bathroom floors considered common areas of a condo association building?

Our association bylaws say 'yes' but certain condo association board members are trying to make it a votable item; meaning that they can vote on what they think are common areas moving forward. This concerns me.
