How long is reasonable to wait before going to a local authority to try to get enforcement for an emergency repair to a freeholder owned residential building?

block of flats, roof broken, rain water draining on to our floor, following through the three floors below it to ground level

TMO is saying they won't even look at it until 23rd March

@danstuff might know?

Immediately, if the local authority is the landlord. The TMO might have assumed responsibility for managing the building, but ultimately liability for a failure to comply the the landlord's repairing obligations will still rest with the landlord.

Ta. Next stupid question - if I want to bypass the feckless TMO which department at Westminster would I talk to? Building control?
