Leaking rooftop pool cause for condo concern

Question: I purchased a brand-new condominium in 2020, near the ocean. The building is seven floors high, including the rooftop pool, and four condominium units wide. In the past six months I have noticed that one of the interior walls that is constructed of plaster over block has developed horizontal bowing, in places for a span of 20 feet or so. The wall in question is a dividing wall to another condominium, which also shows bowing, though not to the extreme mine does.

Could leaking from the pool cause the drywall to bulge or could it be a structural defect?   Read the Q&A………………………….
