Article 1070.2 requires the board of directors to have a maintenance logbook established, describing the maintenance done and to be done on the immovable, to keep it up to date and to have it revised periodically. Its form and content are set by regulation.
The maintenance logbook is a planning tool: it documents the maintenance history and the work to anticipate, supporting management of the common portions and the contingency-fund study.
This obligation comes from Bill 16. The regulatory standards for form and content are those of Decree 991-2025, in force since August 14, 2025: an update by the board at least once a year (s. 4), and a revision by an authorized professional at least every 5 years, or every 10 years for a building with at most 8 private portions, with no common portion located inside a building, or with at most 3 storeys entirely above ground (s. 5).
Bill 31 (2024, c. 2, s. 1) added to the second paragraph that "the standards prescribed by the regulation may vary according to the characteristics of an immovable" - the basis for the 10-year accommodation.
CondoAide keeps the maintenance logbook in the register, current and time-stamped, alongside service contracts and the maintenance history. Establishing it to the applicable standards may require a professional; CondoAide does not certify it.
