Who is required to pay for damages to personal property caused by a roofing co hired by your Condo Home Owners Association?

Take your evidence and your claim to the board, and work with them to determine which insurance company pays for the damage, yours or the master policy that covers the association.
Depending on the value of the damages, it could be covered by an amount which is less than the deductible.
Update: Management company , which hired roofing contractors, tried to make it an issue between the roofing company and us, the condo owners who were damaged. They just didn't want to "get involved." Too bad: The management co/HOA hired the contractors and thus THEY were responsible for seeing that our damages were paid.
Refusing to back down we threatened to sue both the management co and the HOA as they were PRIMARY contactees. I think they realized that we were in the righ tand put pressure on the roofing company. We finally agreed to settle for substantially less than the damages just to putthe mater to rest.
Perhaps we mistakenly expect the management companies and the Boards of Directors to represent US, the homeowners. But it seems ours, at least, will shirk responsibility in every way possible. Just who's side are they on? Apparently not the homeowner's!

If the Home Owners Association for a condominium community hires a roofer to make repairs to the common area and there is damage to a unit owners personal property who is responsible for the damages?
It all depends. Depending on the insurance policy you carry on your personal property, and depending on the insurance carried by the association and the insurance carried by the roofer, there would be some number of possibilities for who ultimately pays. If I were you, I'd document the loss of my personal property and include photos. I'd verify the association's insurance coverage (carrier name, policy # if available) and the roofer's insurance coverage (carrier name, policy # if available). Then I would file a claim with my insurance carrier and pass the other coverage details along with the claim and let my carrier decide who should pay.

Is condominium Homeowners Association responsible for personal property when water damage occurs?
Two issues arise here: repair/ replacement and payment for water damage. One can assume that the personal property involved in the water damage event was located inside your unit, or inside your assigned storage area. Properly, personal insurance covers these personal items. You are well advised to photograph the damage, research your archives for original purchase receipts -- to verify their values, and be prepared to complete a claim. Your personal insurance broker can advise you about how to proceed. Best practices dictate that the association's master policy become involved, since common areas are most often involved in water damage events. Once the source of the water is identified: another owner's plumbing, window, association owned roof, whatever -- then the policy covering the responsible party pays for damages. Once the insurance companies identify responsibility for the source of the water intrusion, payment is finalized for appropriately documented damages and repairs.
