Buildings differ from one community to the next, but when you have new volunteers joining your Board every few years (or every few months… you know who you are) it can feel IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with maintenance, bylaws, and budgets.

Ask the Building Doctor your questions and listen to the struggles of other Board members just like you. Join us on the last Tuesday of every month for The Building Doctor Show.

"TownDo" Buildings: When Shared Homes Act Like Condos—but Aren’t

"TownDo" buildings—shared-wall townhomes that function like condominiums but aren’t legally condos—present unique and often costly challenges for homeowners, HOA boards, and community managers. From rooftop decks and leaking roofs to siding disputes and patchwork repairs, these buildings frequently suffer from systemic failures made worse by fragmented ownership and unclear responsibility.

In this episode, your Building Doctor will break down:

1. The most common physical failures in "TownDo" buildings
2. Why shared systems fail when ownership is fragmented
3. How legal, insurance, and cost-sharing issues complicate repairs
4. Practical strategies for coordinating inspections and repairs
5.How to fix "TownDos" correctly—and avoid patchwork solutions

Join us for an exclusive YouTube premiere on January 27 at 3:30 PM PST to learn how "TownDo" buildings fail, why repairs are so challenging, and how to resolve issues the right way.
