SB 2945: RELATING TO CONDOMINIUMS.

SB 2945 allows condominium associations to inspect high-risk components (like plumbing or electrical systems) within a unit when an owner replaces or repairs them. This directly affects condo associations, giving them the right to verify safety after owner-led repairs, and impacts unit owners who must notify the association of such work. The key mechanism requires owners to inform the association before replacing or repairing these components, enabling the association to conduct an inspection to ensure compliance with safety standards. The bill aims to improve safety oversight in shared living spaces without altering ownership rights. It does not change existing laws about association fees or routine maintenance.
