How do we get a penny-pinching chair to approve proper repairs?

Our OC has been very reluctant in doing repairs and maintenance over  the years, despite my requests. I seemed to be the only one who asked for them .

In the past couple of years, one unit was sold on and this owner also wanted repairs to be done. So works started getting done, but they have taken so so long with many emails backwards and forwards.

We have now a list of repairs to be undertaken and they will be done in order of priority and when there is money. I dont know how long that is going to be.

Shouldn’t money be raised to attend to these repairs in a reasonable amount of time. If the money is not sufficient, shouldnt our budget be adjusted accordingly?  Thanks.
