Default Townhouse Chimney Pipe Repair - Who is Responsible?

I would have thought that they would be either responsible or they would
not be responsible for the repair of the chimney pipe no matter what the
cause.

Any thoughts?


Right it would not need fixing if the huricane didnt ruin everything,
but what you talk about is cheap if its one section, they easily
remove and slide on another piece, the brick labor is expensive, see
if the contractor will do it free, or you buy the pipe. My insurance
covers everything, that why you get insurance not a watered down bs
policy that screws owners, who is responsible for the bs policy, looks
like all your neighbors can get screwed.
