Wow that's horrible! Water is As bad as fire IMO. I had a brand new commercial office building, 6 months old, the high pressure water line to the fan coil unit let go on the 12th floor, ran for an hour before security caught it - 11:30 on a Saturday night, water from 12th to 4th floor. The plumber should have welded the line 1/2 ", it was 1/4" and the pressure caused it to fail, contractors insurance covered all the damage to the building and the occupant fixtures.
Hope you have good insurance!

Not long actually. We had serpro in that night cleaning up the water and running fans. Don't let anyone tell you the drywall will be ok, insist it's removed as soon as possible, carpet and wood floors were pulled on the upper floors. I just went through another mold remediation on another property and now anytime we have wet walls, it goes. Costs 5xs more to remediate mold than to remove up front. If you can, take photos of the damage and provide to your insurance co. Chances are the strata will be responsible for base building, demising walls, but your insurance will cover your fixtures and finishes and interior walls. If you have a tenant, their insurance will cover their possessions. It's a bit of a mess but they should all work together to resolve as soon as possible. Keep in touch with your board or management company, they should have procedures in place.
I hope it gets resolved quickly for you!
