QUESTION
HOA does not maintain the building. We replaced siding, windows, roof at our own expense. Can we enforce other 3 units to pay up and fix the rest?

More details to this question:
the HOA is 4 units, two duplexes facing each other. we literally replaced everything on our half of one duplex, while our adjoining neighbor did some replacement and patching. the owners of the second duplex have not nothing. it looks like a dump.

The HOA Board of Directors is given very broad discretion in deciding how to maintain the property. You should have an attorney who is familiar with CC&Rs and the Davis Stirling Act, to see whether you have any legal recourse.
Good for you to have done the right thing with your own home. It would have been nice if, having seen how much better your unit looks, the other owners had followed your example.
