The real estate agent lied to me about the dampness in the apartment before I bought it. Can I take action against them and the community?

A homeowner is experiencing issues with dampness in the ceiling of one of the rooms in their apartment, which they noticed when they purchased the property. The real estate agent claimed it was due to an issue with the facade and that technicians were on their way to fix it, but this turned out to be false. A expert has now confirmed that the issue is indeed with the facade and that repairs are needed.

The homeowners' association is resistant to taking responsibility, arguing that the issue only affects the individual homeowner and is costly.
