If you don't, and since you didn't obtain any documents relating to your investment, tell the condo board you expect the policy you pay for as part of the condo fees to cover any damage to the common area.

Since you don't have any of the important documents relating to your presumably expensive purchase, and you're asking about something that is a legal issue depending on those documents, on a message board of all places, the best you can do is take a position and see what happens. At the same time, yes get your own plumber to provide a separate opinion.
I was mostly just wondering if this was a standard type of issue, and my impression is that there have been lots of previous threads regarding both condo and legal issues on this message board, of all places. I need to get the documents but have had no problems until now, so wasn't too worried about it until now. i'm also on vacation so won't readily have access to them for another week.

I do have insurance. I appreciate a bunch of your suggestions despite the slightly condescending tone. So... Thank you?!
