Only if the owner above was negligent somehow. A pipe simply bursting suddenly and without warning would not trigger any liability of the unitowner.
However, if the unitowner above was filling his bathtub, and decided to go out for dinner and the tub overflowed....there might be some negligence on his behalf and possible liability on the unitowner. It all depends on exactly what caused the water damage.

There are separate responsibilities here, first, to clean up the water damage and second, to pay for the clean-up and repair.
Clearly, water has flowed through common areas -- the walls/ floors/ ceilings, which are owned by the association. As well, two separate units -- at least -- are involved.
When water is evident in places where it shouldn't be, the first call is to the association's manager -- on an emergency basis -- to learn how to 'turn off' the water source. (A unit owner may know this already.) NB: It may be a leaky roof or window, or a mystery source.
The association manager can then contact the appropriate clean-up team, and contact the master insurance policy carrier to alert the company of a pending claim.
A unit owner is best advised to carry an HO-6 condominium owners policy, which may cover the expense of such an incident, including damage to other units. Lacking such coverage, an owner may be required to pay for damages.
Best practices dictate that a unit owner not tackle this issue alone: involve the association manager and/or board, so that the appropriate response takes place and payments are made according to the insured status of all involved.
Whomever is responsible for the damage must be identified, but that's not the priority action in this case.
Note that the responsibility to repair and the responsibility to pay for the repair may be separate responsibilities.
Your first action will be to call in for repairs. Water damage, left un-repaired, will lead to mold, which is dangerous, damaging and probably isn't covered by your insurance. Start with your property manager: at least the managing agent will point you in the right direction if they cannot or do not manage the repair.
Next, contact your insurance broker who wrote your HO-6 unit owner's policy. Be prepared with details from your board or property manager as to who carries the master insurance policy for the association.
Depending on the source of the leak, the proper insurance will be billed.
The car owner is responsible.
If you live in a second floor condo and you rent the condo, the leak that causes damage is the responsibility of the owner of the building. If you own the condo, the leak is the responsibility of the owner of the condo with the leak.
It depends on the specific terms outlined in the condo association's bylaws or the individual condo's governing documents. In some cases, the responsibility for maintaining and repairing driveways may fall on the condo association, while in others it may be the responsibility of the individual condo owner. It is best to review the governing documents or consult with the condo association to determine who is responsible for the driveway repairs.
Condo Roccia
A little, but they are different. A townhouse is usually a row house, one of several attached buildings. They may have completely separate ownership. A condominium ("condo") is often more like an apartment but essentially it is a residence that is part of a group that has shared management and maintenance. The condo owner is responsible for inside the walls the a Home Owners Association (HOA) is responsible for the outside and the grounds. The condo owner will pay a monthly fee to the HOA for this work.
The owner of the car that caused your damages will be responsible to pay damages to you unless you live in a no-fault state. In that case, your insurance pays for your damages.
The titled owner of a condominium is responsible to pay assessments for a condominium unit, regardless of how the titled owner ended up with the title to the real estate. The state and the association's governing documents may extend this debt to a personal obligation that is separate from the titled obligation.
If a car is left at a dealership, the car owner is responsible for any damage. Theft or damages are not covered in the insurance policy of the dealership.
Read your governing documents to determine who owns the fuse panel, the unit owner or the association. As well, your board can help you determine who is responsible to fix/replace the panel and who is responsible for paying for it.
If the fuse box is inside the condo then the condo owner pays
The owner of the vacant lot is responsible for the $300 worth of damage. Liability does not depend on whether the lot has improvements or not.
