hi everyone, im a LL and just got my condo back after tenant moved out. the dryer booster fan (installed in the building above washer/dryer) is making this horrible noise and needs repair. not sure if i should fix it or if its the condo corps responsibility? theres some history - the unit above had a washing machine leak last winter that damaged our ceiling. the noise started after that incident.

just call the property management and ask them lol
This would be covered in your condo declaration and bylaws. Generally speaking:
- If the fan is within your unit’s boundaries (as defined in the declaration), it’s typically your responsibility
- If it’s in common elements, it’s usually the condo corporation’s responsibility
- If it’s in exclusive use common elements, check your declaration as it could go either way
Given that it’s connected to the building’s ventilation system and above the laundry, I’d suggest getting the condo management involved first. They can determine ownership and responsibility.
