Looking quickly, you realize that the water is coming from the common areas, but you don't know where exactly. Obviously, you can't just leave it that way or you'll end up with a hole in the ceiling, but who to call on a Saturday night? Usually, you can turn to the condominium trustee who will bring in a service provider, but at this time and in addition on the weekends, there is no one to help you.
In this case, unless there is a concierge or caretaker available to help you, you will have no other solution than to call a provider to perform a service. emergency repair in common premises.
