Concrete Cracking in Basement

I have a questions regarding concrete cracking in my daughter's home. My daughter owns a condo at Waukewan Condos in Meredith. Her first level is garage and utility room/basement. Walk up second level is main living area, kitchen etc. On tuesday a crack appeared in her basement floor. It's about 6 feet in length and goes all the way to the wall separating the next unit. She has a lot of standing water outside her back door, usually until april/may so the drainage is terrible. I am not an expert but I would imagine the cracking is due to some sort of frost heaves with all of the cold weather recently. Any suggestions on who to call to evaluate any possible structural damage? If it does require repair would the homeowner's association be responsible if it is caused by poor maintenance? Thanks for any suggestions.
