There are a number of hypotheticals there. For example, has the OC resolved to demolish the building (quite a few hurdles to get through for that)?
If the building is uninhabitable, are people living in it? If there are known safety issues and they haven’t been rectified, then the OC would likely be liable for any injuries or other losses caused as a result of the issues. It would not be a defence that you intend or propose to demolish the building. This is a separate issue to the OC’s obligations under the Act to maintain the building.
