Is it a "right" to be depressed if you have a negative impact on others?

My upstairs neighbor has been causing problems in our building of 18 apartments for months. Granted everyone is this building lives here because they have one kind of problem or another. Most of us are bi polar or suffer from some sort of depression. BUT we take our medication and live normal lives not bothering anyone. You would never know that some of us even have a problem of any kind. This woman is constantly making unbelievable noises in her apartment that actually keep me awake or wake me up at 3am even after I've taken my sleeping meds. I have had pictures fall off my wall from whatever it is that she does up there. She has broken her windows and left water running, her apartment always looks like it's been trashed. Someone is always calling the police because the noise continues much after 11pm. The housing manager said there's nothing she can do about it since the woman does not take her medication and she has a "right" to be depressed! She obviously needs help but nobody is doing anything about it. Once in awhile when the police are called they insist she goes to the local psych hospital where she stays about a month (I'm sure that's because it's all her insurance will cover). She will be fine for about 2 weeks and then she is off again. Should people who are mentally unstable be able to do things like this? There are programs in this city where she can go so why doesn't someone put her into one? Anyone have any ideas?
