My lazy super,building manager, & Landlord won’t fix my broken windows as well as many other things in the apartment. I have communicated with them via phone and mail but all they say is they will get to it sometime. Is there anywhere in the fine print that says this negligence allows me to hire a help to replace the windows and get reimbursed for the money by the building manager and/or the landlord?

You have the contract - read the fine print. Generally, the answer is “no” unless you get written prior approval from the landlord.
keep your receipt and take pictures before and after
Making improvements/repairs to a property without the landlord written permission is cause for an eviction of the tenant.
There is no fine print. Unless the repairs make the apartment uninhabitable…you have no choice but to sit tight and wait for maintenance to respond. If the apartment is uninhabitable, call your local building department/inspector and file a complaint.
