Our super who lives below us is experiencing a leak in his apt. He claims it is from our bathroom. We have no obvious leaks, flooding, etc, in our bathroom. [We renovated it 2 years ago and had plumbing checked/fixed prior.] The super’s plumber also confirmed that our bathroom seemed sound about a month ago. Super says leak is still a problem and wants to tear out our walls (either shower wall [one bathroom apt] or the wall in my son’s nursery [he's 3.5 weeks old] to find it. A bit of a nightmare. We own our apt and live in a co-op. Who is responsible for repairs to our apartment? What if they tear up walls and find nothing? Should my husband and I discuss all of this with the management company first? (so far just talked with super)
