## What do you think? Question:

Who is responsible for the exterior maintenance of condo association units. For example, roof issues, chimney issues, buildings need cleaned or painted, I was given the impression that the [Condo Association](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) was responsible for exterior issues when I considered buying my condo, now I am hearing conflicting stories, hope you can shed some light on this issue. Thanks
