First, is this a condo or coop? Is this building in NYC? What type of tax abatement? NYC offers many different types of abatements. The reason that I ask is that you may have the answer to your question in your by-laws. I think that you are asking what can you do if you believe that the managing agent is mis-managing the building in some way that is causing financial harm? If you believe that the abatement is significant then look at what means you have to remove and replace the managing agent. Coop or condo meetings are a great place to voice your concern and bring up the abatement. Also, look in the information you sent. Does it say that the managing agent must apply or can a member of the coop or condo board do so? Little things can be done to rally your fellow apartment dwellers to "prompt" the managing agent in to action.
