“Is it the neighbor’s responsibility?”

“Dear PoPville,

My condo building consists of 3 adjoining rowhouses. The board is currently in the process of getting bids to replace our roof (which includes multiple levels, flat and slanted). During the bid process, we discovered that a neighbor had built a roof deck, where some of the supports sit on the shared party wall between us. According to the roofing engineer: “The neighbor’s rooftop porch may need to be shored in place to accommodate the roof replacement because it bears on a shared party wall.” Obviously this could add some significant cost to our project. Is it the neighbor’s responsibility? Does anyone have any experience with a similar scenario?

Side note: the current owner of the neighboring house was not the one who erected the roof deck.”

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
