One question about the auto door openers, were they original equipment installed with the garage doors and originally sold with the unit when it was new? If they were, then it is the Body Corps responsibility as they form part of common property and equipment, the BC's insurance is liable. If they were added to the garage door by various owners over time, then it is the current owners responsibility and therefore they should claim on their own insurance.

If they are older units then there should be a By-Law in place to cover garage doors which expressly allows a lot owner to add an automatic garage door opener to the common property garage door. The By-Law should clearly state that the lot owner accepts responsibility for all maintenance and any consequential damage to common property or other lot.
