Question Condo Mgmt Co Keeps Having to Fix Leaky Roof

I own a condo on the top floor (12th) of a condo complex. There is an association with a board which has hired a management company to run the business affairs of the condo building including maintenance. I am responsible for a maintenance fee every month paid to the management company.

Over the past 2 years I have had repeated roof leaks from the same spot. I've called the condo management company on the matter each time. Always they claim someone is sent out to fix the problem. However the problem continues. Now I am in the process of renovating my kitchen (where leaking roof problem is located) so that I can sell the condo. However, I am afraid that the continued problem could damage the cabinets, ceramic tiling, and appliances that I am installing, both ruining them and hurting my chances of selling the condo.

Someone suggested that I go to the courts where I can get my condo maintenance fees paid to the courts, which would withhold those fees from the condo management company until the problems is solved. Is this true? What are my other options? What are my options if another roof leak problem does ultimately ruin my property or damage my ability to sell the condo?

I would suggest having an expert installer and builder review the past problems and adjust whatever is needed to ensure no damage--not a legal answer but a construction answer. They may need to account for the issue one way or another.
