A. Washing Machine Water Damage in Unit #’s 3302/3202/3102 – Maintco/FPI Failure in top floor unit resulting in significant flooding and damage to two lower units. Board determined to file claim with insurance carrier as cost to repair likely to exceed $30,000, with only a $5,000 insurance deductable. Present declarations indicate HOA insurance to cover.
