If he can't fix the problem then he calls the heating company. Also the water can suddenly go off for one or more tiers. Again a resident should notice this and call the building engineer and he usually calls the management and they call the plumbing company. The water to my tier (D) went off this afternoon. I did not notice it until I needed to use one of the three bathrooms and noticed that the bathroom in my bedroom had no water.

Have you ever considered moving?
That's what most tenants do who continually experience annoying and "quality of life" problems on a regular and constant basis having no permanent resolve or remedy.
If you think the building owner will someday upgrade the building's heating systems or water supply pipes I doubt if that's ever going to happen.
I would imagine that you find your present accommodations affordable, which is why you remain there. But that also brings me to that old familiar saying, "you get what you pay for."
