Given the situation and age ,it is advisable to escalate the same to the house owner and get it rectified or give him an option of getting it done by yourself and expenses to be shared equally, on confirmation of the same you can go ahead or you vacate the house and go for another house. I am against asking you to contemplate any legal action against the said owner.

Mam,
You have not mentioned about the age of the building.
Normally the apartment association will pass a resolution for carrying out such repair after getting approval from its members. If you are the owner of the Apartment you need to approach association head with a written representation.
If there is no association formed then you need to fight back with the flat owner who are causing such an annoyance. you may send a legal representation stating the fact the leakage in the roof top had occurred only due to the repair works carried out by the above flat owner and demand them for carrying out necessary repairs by plastering the roof to put back in the position before.
