Read your governing documents to determine the line where your private ownership ends and common ownership ends.
If it is common area:
- Owners (plural) maintain the attic area, this is proper, since it's possible that the attic is common area.
- Owners (plural) own the attic, it is subject to preventative maintenance, regular inspection and so forth.
- Owner (singular) maintains the attic area, that individual owner may be encroaching on real estate assets that belong to all the members.
- Owner (singular) actually owns the attic and it is not common area, the governing documents may require that this owner maintain the attic to some standard.
If it is common area, by definition, and is used (maintained) by a single owner, the largest issues have to do with fire hazards, liability, and privilege.

Is a garage door common property in a condominium townhouse with a built-in drive under garage?
Read your governing documents to determine who owns the door, who is responsible for maintaining it and how maintenance and access are defined. In this case, your garage, its door, overhead lights and fan, attic space, cement pad and so forth may be defined as 'limited common area' that is owned by the association in common with all other owners, but dedicated to fewer than all the owners. In this case, as well, since you are the only owner who 'uses' the garage door, the association may repair or replace it and charge your account.
