I have a different view on this, as the intercom will service multiple lots and I consider it the OC’s responsibility to provide a working doorbell / intercom to my apartment. Likewise the wiring is generally run within the common spaces of the building so again not technically a lots responsibility. Additionally you get no choice on the brand or features of the equipment as it needs to work with the OC’s system. Finally you have a right to be able to have emergency services attend your apartment, a non-functioning intercom is a significant safety hazard.
We had many issues with our intercom and the OC repaired / replaced it several times at no charge to ourselves. Ultimately the OC replaced the whole system and lots just paid their share of the system cost via levies based on UE.
That said, if an owner to tenant intentionally broke their intercom then I would certainly want to see it billed to them.
Its not like you can simply install a wireless doorbell on the front gate….
