Building insurances are for 10 years. The Community of owners need to have an insurance for damages now.

The simple answer is, if the leaking roof is communal property, the community insurance should cover it. But your query is a little confusing. Where is the leak coming from? Is it from an apartment above yours? Is your patio actually a terrace? - part of your property that you have closed in? Is your property leaking into that below you? A little more info might help, but ultimately, most insurance companies will send an inspector out to assess the situation, and will then tell you whether or not they cover it. You could ask your president or administrator to contact the community insurance company if you feel they should cover it.

Roberto: as always.... an excellent answer!
Yes, the most iportant thing in your case is to verify of the element causing the damage is of commun or individual ownership. A surveyor and a legal look to the Horizontal division deeds might be needed if it is not clear.
