Anyone here ever take on a condo association?

[llmart]

I live in site condos. I've spent a lot of time reading the by-laws and master deed and looking at the plat surveys. They sent out nasty letters to people about cracks in sidewalks. I have no problem with having to replace a couple of my slabs but if I'm reading the by-laws and master deed correctly, the sidewalk in front of my house is limited common property and the master deed clearly states that limited common elements are for the sole use and enjoyment of the unit owner. I maintain that if that's the case, no one should be walking on my sidewalk or anything else on my sidewalk. As an FYI, not all units have a sidewalk. They are only on one side of the street. Mine ends at my neighbor's property (yeah, it was a stupid idea to allow this when they were built).

The curb leading up to my sidewalk is all chewed up from plows and the snow removal company driving their heavy equipment up onto my sidewalk. They have said they aren't replacing any curbs. I maintain that it will look stupid for me to replace two slabs while the curb is chewed up on the side that abuts my sidewalk. What I think should be done is the curb should be replaced at the same time and that the association pay for it since it is their responsibility to repair. I think they'll just try to tell me they don't have the money for it.

It sticks in my craw that they send homeowners demanding letters about you WILL pay for repairing your sidewalk, but they don't do their end of the bargain.
