Nora, are you sure your place is the source of the leak? Ice damns can cause leaks on lower floors, even when the upper floors aren't showing any leaking. The water runs down through the walls, 'til it finds the most annoying place to leak out.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

On the whole when-to-talk-to-your-upstairs-neighbor versus talking-to-the-landlord issue:
But, that's different than water leakage, right? I mean, there's no implied criticism in letting someone know that there's a leak, and perhaps we should talk to the landlord?
ETA:
So do I talk to the landlord about their screaming fights? If it wasn't a regular occurrence, I wouldn't say a thing. But it's getting really old.
Yes, you can do that.
(sorry, I am half paying attention to stuff today.)

Sounds like you need a prescription ointment, Frank.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

My upstairs neighbors were the same, and management didn't do a thing. I resorted to calling the police (on more than one occasion), especially when I can hear her screaming, "No! Get away from me!" I haven't seen idiot-boy around for months now, so I assume she wised up and tossed him out.

Trust my rage

Is it going to be obvious that it was you that complained? Personally, in that situation, I wouldn't be comfortable complaining to their faces either given the reason they are making so much noise.
You have a right to enjoy a quiet apartment and it's the lanlord's job to provide that. I think you are justified in complaining if it is a semi-common problem.

Um, yes? No? (I think I missed a page of posts, because I don't get this.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The correct course of action in these circumstances, Steph, is to move to San Francisco. (or maybe even New York).
