This is what happens when an Executive Committee doesn't enforce its own rules and/or treats tenants like second-class citizens. Contact your landlord or estate immediately and demand that they either do something about this or give you a rent reduction for the duration of the work. 7 am may be a reasonable time to start on a building site or a free-standing home but it is definitely not OK in an apartment block. Any EC that's on-the ball would have made a more civilised starting time a condition of their approval of the work and access to common property for builders etc. You might also check the building's by-laws to see if they are being breached by this – again, take it to the landlord/agent. It's their responsibility to make sure you get what you've paid for.
