California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff's suit against the homeowner association for extensive repair costs to his condominium caused by a leaky sewer pipe beneath the concrete slab underlying plaintiff's condominium, trial court's judgment in favor of the plaintiff and an award of about $17,000 is affirmed as, under a natural reading of the CC&R's, the sewer pipe was a genuine common area to be maintained and repaired by the association, as distinct from an exclusive use common area appurtenant to an individual owner's separate interest.
