A:
Your HOA has an address listed somewhere in your closing documents for you to use when giving official notice.
I suggest you send a letter with photos explaining the situation via certified mail, return receipt requested.
Then send it again three days and again three days later. Keep copies of each letter.
At that point, you will should be receiving those little green receipts with somebody's signature on them at the HOA's official notice address.
Then, if the HOA pretends they never heard from you and that you are responsible for not reporting the damages, then you have a file with the certified letters and the little green receipts.
It takes a lot of organization to run an HOA correctly and accurately. Make sure that your records of this leaking water are better than theirs.
