At Cornerstone, we have a mix of party-wall townhouses and apartment buildings. 
 The roofs and exterior walls of the apartment buildings are the responsibility 
of the community.  The townhouses, because they are part of the community, are 
treated the same way.  But in other, more privatized and more conventional 
developments, — row houses on separate lots, for instance — each dwelling unit 
is responsible for its own roof and walls.
