If you buy a delapidated 50 year old condo what happened to "buyer beware" and inspections?

What does the $100k do for condo owners?
I am not a structural engineer, so I don't know how the concrete repairs are accomplished.

What I know is that it is pricey. All the owners contribute their $100,000 into the fund and, with good budgeting and management, hope it will be enough to preserve their condo for another 20 or more years.

Without the repairs, the condos are nearly worthless. With timely maintenance, the condo is worth much more than $100,000.
