Late fee on non payment of late fee

Sir My association by laws mentions that late fee of Rs 250/- p.m to be levied on late payment of maintenance charges. I paid one quarter late due to water issues in my apartment to be rectified by the association as discussed but not done. But finally i paid the quarter instalment though the repair didnot take place. I even paid the subsequent maintenance fees on time but i didnot pay the late fee charged on the previous quarter since my late payment was due to the fact that repair was not done. Now, the association has been charging late fee for non payment of the late fee of the said quarter till date and the amount has multiplied. I think it is not logical to charge late fee on non payment of late fee since the maintenance charges has been paid. Now the late fee has been charged for more than a year for non payment of the late fee charged on one late payment of maintenance. Have i got the right to ask them waive the late fee charges since the maintenance charges has been paid and the late fee has been illogically charged on non payment of late fee. Pl advise me
