More details to this question:
Management Company hired a contractor to replace broken cement patio. Contractor used blower to cleanup and cement dust filled our condo. Condo needed to be professionally cleaned inside and out by company specializing in hazardous cleanup. Cost $10,000 for a job completed by new contractor for $1,000. Management Company paid for cleanup and job from condo association funds rather than their funds. I think they should be responsible since they hired the contractor.

The Condo owners as the Management Company is simply they disclosed agent. I would however, look for insurance coverages and it does appear the contractor which distributed the concrete dust might have a problem. Seek specific advise form an attorney allowing review of all of the documentation and contracts.
