I’ve tried to find numbers, but my general feeling from condo shopping is that many concrete high rises from the 1980s skimped on sealant and now have lots of water damage. I regularly saw similar assessment letters around underground garages along with slow movement due to high costs and continued discovery of more issues.
When shopping, the potential unknown around future assessments scared me off. Now I would be even more terrified.
