How can I force apartment management to fix leaking roof and ceiling?

How can I force apartment management to fix leaking roof and ceiling?
NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE A LANDLORD. OUR COMMUNITY IS RUN BY EQUITY APARTMENTS MANAGEMENT GROUP SO I'M DEALING WITH A CORPORATION AND NOT A SINGLE LANDLORD. PLEASE GIVE ADVICE THAT APPLIES TO DEALING WITH A COMPANY AND NOT A PERSON WHO RENTS OUT THEIR HOME.

It's been 3 weeks since Isaac damaged the roof of our apartment building and put a hole in my bedroom ceiling. I was told 2 1/2 weeks ago that roofers were coming and to date no one has showed up. I then again 2 weeks ago when no one had showed up and was told they'll be here within a few days, again... nothing.

What legal avenue do I have? I'm in South Florida, its rainy season and the constant dripping of rain water through the ceiling into a bucket in my room is keeping me up at night and also you can see mold starting to appear where the ceiling is damaged.

I don't want to make a stink about this but I would like my roof fixed. What are your suggestions on how I should deal with this.

I've taken video, pictures and posted on my Facebook page comments about the leak to document it. I figured no one can argue about the time stamps on FB.
I have documented email exchanges with the property manager who states roofers are on their way. This has been going on since I reported the damage the day after the storm. She promises they are here or coming and no one shows up.
Thanks Casey, I appreciate the advice.
