Question: I bought my apartment 3 months ago and I just attended my first meeting of co-owners. To my great surprise, I learned that major masonry work had to be done on the building. My seller never told me about it, even though it is obvious that he must have known, since all the other co-owners present at the meeting seemed well informed.

I am considering purchasing a condo within a small, seemingly disorganized co-ownership of three units. There is a joint bank account with a balance of $16,000, but many aspects of management are lacking: there are no specific regulations for the building, no separate accounts for reserve funds, insurance funds, and operational funds.
