A: At this point, you should simply notify (in writing) the Condo Association and/or the contractor that you are unsatisfied with the work. If you do not get a reasonable response (reasonably promptly), you might then want to speak with an attorney about the facts and if you have a viable claim, and against whom. It is also possible your insurance would compensate you, and help deal with the responsible parties- but you should make a claim fairly quickly.
