Which one of the following is NOT typically considered a common element in a reserve study?

In a reserve study, the focus is primarily on common elements of a community association, which are shared by all residents and require maintenance, repair, or replacement over time. Common elements typically include facilities and structures that everyone in the community uses or benefits from, such as a swimming pool, clubhouse, or landscaping around the community.

In contrast, individual unit roofs are classified as private elements rather than common elements. Homeowners are responsible for the maintenance and replacement of the roofs of their own units, which distinguishes them from shared amenities that are managed collectively by the homeowner association. This distinction is essential in the context of a reserve study, which aims to assess the funding needs for common elements, rather than private, individually-owned components. Thus, individual unit roofs would not be included in a reserve study as a common element.
