Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Real estate property damage

The improvements my upstairs

neighbor put into their condo has

damaged my condo in San Diego,

CA. They installed hard flooring, not

allowed under the HOA's CC&Rs,

they installed some plumbing

features in the kitchen that have

overloaded the system in place in

the building, causing massive ,

constant flooding of my kitchen,

ruining my flooring, my cabinets, my

tile counters, and my plush

carpeting in the dining area at $45

per sq ft. The management

company has been told about this

over a year ago; all they do is send

plumbers that fix the clog, but the

problem returns. The new owner

has created an even worse

situation where flooding is daily.

The management company says

they will send a plumber, but this is

not going to solve the problem or

pay for the damage already done.

The noise levels from the neighbors

due to the hard flooring , which I

also have been consistently

complaining about, also has not

met with any assistance from

management. This is strictly

forbidden in our own CC&Rs. Is

there any legal recourse I can take

against either the nieghbor or the

HOA/Managment for the damage

and devaluation of my property?

Re: Real estate property damage

You may have a cause of action against the HOA for not enforcing the C&R's. What type of kitchen modification was done and was that against the C&R's also? Contact me directly.
