H.B. 336 Summary

• Requires condominium associations to comply with building and housing laws affecting health and safety, maintain common elements in clean and safe condition, and make necessary repairs to keep common elements habitable.

• Mandates associations commence repairs within seven calendar days of written notification from health or safety agencies of violations, or inform unit owners of delays and provide a reasonable repair start date.

• Allows unit owners to perform repairs themselves and deduct costs (capped at the greater of $[amount] or one month's assessments) from common expense assessments if the association fails to comply.

• For defective conditions affecting individual units, associations must commence repairs within twelve business days (or three business days for critical facilities like electrical or plumbing), or unit owners may perform repairs at association expense with cost limits.

• Establishes that total repair costs chargeable to the association during each six-month period cannot exceed three months' assessments, and unit owners must disclose all known defective conditions at initial notification or be barred from seeking repairs for six months.
