There's a few different possible scenarios here. If there's work being done on most units to the benefit of most owners -such as window replacement, for instance – I don't think there's any possible claim because you are collectively benefitting as well as collectively having your lives disrupted. It's swings and roundabouts, really, and don't forget you have a choice in the matter, in so far as you have a say at the Owners Corporation's general meetings (but have to abide by its decisions).
If, however, just one or two units were suffering serious disruption from work that benefitted everyone, then you would have a strong case to argue for compensation from the Owners Corporation (although if it was just a minor disruption, you would reasonably put this down to your contribution to the greater good). For major disruption, a good EC would sensibly smooth the way by looking after the affected owner or their tenants.
If the work being done was the result of an insurable accident – like a fire, explosion or storm damage – you'd be able to claim against insurance, regardless of how many units were affected.
