Leakage problem from 1st floor balcony in a society what can I do


03-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
The flat in which we are currently staying was purchased in the year 2000, it is a ground floor flat and all the balconies of the flat were already extended by previous owner. I do not know about the legal status of this extension but all I could found out from my neighbor was this was decided in a meeting that all the ground floor members can extend their balconies. The extra area is also included in the society maintenance.  From past 3 years I am facing leakage problem from 1st floor balcony. Secretary is not taking action against him even after written and verbal notice, what can I do.
