[WSBARP] condo skylight issue

[James L. Strichartz]

A skylight is a window located in a roof as opposed to in a wall.  If
this is a new act condo, the skylight is a limited common element.  If
it is an old act condo, the skylight is part of the common areas and
facilities.  The question of maintenance would depend on how the
declaration treats maintenance of windows.

Subject: [WSBARP] condo skylight issue

 

Does anyone have experience with/authority regarding whether a skylight
in a condo is considered part of a roof and therefore common property,
or if the skylight itself is considered only the property of the unit to
which it is attached?  Relevant for maintenance liability issues.

 

Thanks,
