I have lived here for 4 years and last year a new owner upstairs moves and
the shower starts to leak on my bathroom. Been going on for a year;
neighbor has known about it for 4+ months, but has not made any initiative
to take responsibility in solving the problem. Difficulties in
communicating with her. My drywall is all shot up.

Other issues: neighbor's insurance company has made small payment to me.
We have had 2 different plumbers out here on three occasions, and still
problem has not been caught. Also, I technically hired the second plumber
who she paid; and it turns out this firm is operating here without a
license. Condo manager doesn't return phone calls.

My question is, what could the courts do for me in this situation? I DON'T
WANT MONEY, just my bathroom back the way it was before. Could they turn
off her water until her shower is fixed? Do I have any liability for hiring
an unlicensed plumber?

You can sue for the cost of repairs. You could sue for an injunction
requiring the defendant to stop trespassing (via water).

Nope.

Thank you. Too bad it has to go this far.
