so is this a condo or rental or what? what have the people upstairs said? do they admit flooding upstairs or had any repairs done upstairs that you are aware of?

You should have a main water shutoff valve somewhere in the basement. This should kill all the water to the building.You turn that off when suspect a flood will minimize the impact.It will get others attention too if you have more than one neighbor in the building. Just before you do that get a couple of pales of water so you can flush your toilet if you have too.

Move to the 3th floor....lol But for real I would let the landlord know(don't accuse) and let the landlord handle it.....The point is is she doing it on spite or is it a real pluming problem, the landlord dont want property water damage, also maybe the landlord would have to pay for your repairs...
If I was the owner of the building I would put those people out because they are destroying the place. Water damage can bring the whole structure down. It wouldn't surprise me if her two brats aren't doing something like running the bath tub over thinking it's funny, or her idiot husband should be arrested for touching a wrench.
