For Lisbon I can tell you right now, it's because of the reasons I mentioned above... The president of the community of owners is using the money for something else. In Portugal the typical way is that every year a different owner is the President. Generally speaking, the owners meet once a year and discuss what they want done to the building and grounds the following year and how much they are prepared to pay to get that done. Often they decide that cleaning the façade is too expensive and will be done "next year"...
