Jared Kushner owns stuff like this. He's been making bank. These people will never win sadly.
Josh Matlow who spearheaded the RentSafe TO repair laws in the City of Toronto in 2015 said that the city staff has the tools to carry out the work and then bill the owner of the building. If the owner doesn't pay, the City can put a lien on the building and if required, sell it at auction.
But like typical City of Toronto employees, they do nothing.
What good is electing politicians on platforms when the staff continue to do whatever the fuck they want or don't want to do.

Easy.
Use the existing legislation to carry out the work and then bill the owner of the building. If they don't pay, then you put a lien on the property, and if the owners still don't pay, then you put the building up for auction.
Is the city government too GUTLESS to do this ? Earn your keep and do what you are paid to do !! Read OLIVIA get on this .
Funny how hard and quickly they worked to get their 26% raises!But like typical City of Toronto employees, they do nothing.

Don't pay the rent!!! Nobody!! Put the money in trust, stick together, force it to court..
Nobody is gonna do anything. They'll talk the talk for show then nothing. Don't like it? Too bad. What exactly is the average joe who lacks funds going to accomplish?
And why would they waste time putting the building up for auction? It's probably in that condition still going for millions based on the GTA. Then what? Another millionaire or millionaire corp buys it to do what? Major reno work that's costly? Are the tenants going to fork more rent for the cost of doing business? If not then the landlord will raise the rent to make up for all the reno and those people will end up having to move or live on the streets and stuff like this has already happened where landlords jacked up the rent and the poorer people left. Then the next people in line who have funds move in and pay the new rent until things eventually repeat. And if not that many people move in to make up for the expenses the company will just claim the business at a loss until they decide it's not worth it and perhaps try selling it to recoup something. Lets stop living in some magically world where poor people and the average joe have leverage. You lack the essential tools to throw your weight around and that tool is money. This is why I don't bother wasting my time with debates or the general public upset about new builds taking over vacant land and are like "omg what about the nature and animals". What exactly about it??? Did you see how Toronto has developed since the 70s and how farmland was taken over to make way for population.
The funniest part about living in small towns are when residents bitch about newcomers and things being built, but local businesses are all smiles because it helps the economy not to mention the town too due to taxes which help with roads and stuff. If a small town stays too small they'll be in a poor state typically due to funds.
If I owned a building and my tenants only paid a certain amount of rent I wouldn't bend backwards and would do things at the least amount to try and solve the issue. Same shit happens with all the run down factories, business buildings and facilities around the area. Cost of doing business unless those people pay me more. Why should I waste money to make things look new and stuff when the tenants typically don't care and will have the place more than likely needing the same repairs in a couple of years.
