It’s possible, but the onus would be on you to prove that a “reasonably foreseeable loss” had been suffered because the Owners Corp had failed to maintain and repair common property.
For instance, if you tell the OC that the corner of your ceiling is sagging and they do nothing, and then it caves in and destroys your TV, you could probably claim. Similarly, if you had reported a wet patch on your wall and they had done nothing, then a large amount of water burst through and flooded your flat, you could probably claim on that too.
But a pipe that bursts without warning, inside a wall where it can’t be seen … is that foreseeable?
