> Something breaks, fix it? No

I assume that's only if not urgent? e.g. pipe blows up or rock hits a window for whatever reason, you can at least effect basic repairs if not immediately call the tradie?

You're not supposed to do either on shabbat unless its life or death.

In strict orthodox Judiasm nope.

The only time you can break the Sabbath is if it is "pikuach nefesh" (life threatening if not done)

So, say a pipe blew and is flooding the apartment building you're supposed to not do anything?

you turn off the main water shutoff and get to fixing it after shabbat (i.e. no different than turning on and off the faucet)
