I am in a complex of townhouses that also have individual fuse boxes inside each unit with meters outside on common property.
This situation has not arisen here. I would have thought it was an individual owners responsibility as this fuse box is only for each individual unit. Much like owners here are responsible for the plumbing that is only for their individual units, but OC responsible for mains leading into units.
That is how I would have looked at this issue. If we had to maintain everyone's one personal fuse boxes we would have to put up our levies to cover repair/maintenance/replacement. So owners would have to pay for it one way or another.
Should a fuse box be affected by a problem with the mains power feeding into the unit, then I would have thought it was an OC problem. But as I said, haven't had it happen here yet. Be interesting to see others input on this matter.
