I am on the 2nd floor of a 3 story building. The layouts for my unit and the one below are the same. I inspected my kitchen and don't see any evidence of a leak. The association has asked me to call a plumber. Is it my responsibility to call a plumber?

You are only responsable if the piping that is leaking is piping to your unit, is it a slow or a fast leak, one thing you can do to tell if it is your piping is at night turn off the water, if there is no leaking in the morning it is most likely your piping (working as a ex-plumber I would say the piping is yours because it is underneith your apartment piping is generally run underneith because it is closer to the valves that the pipes terminate at) just be safe and call the plumber and if it turns out the piping isn't yours take the bill up with the unit below you.....

Most likely, you should call the plumber. If it is your pipe, and you are causing damage to the unit below you, then I would think that you are responsible for that too. The main thing is to get it fixed, then whoever owns the pipe, can pay. good luck.

Sorry, It's most likely your pipes.
Those lines are generally run in the floor of the space, not the ceiling.
