Yes , you have are responsible for making the construction by fixing the problem. However, as you paid the money for the open terrace you can ask for the necessary permission from the Municipality for covering the open terrace.

check your sanctioned building plan ,is it terrace with flat or included with your flat or it is common terrace.if it is common then it can be disputed.

without permission of concern competent authority with consent of society you can not cover terrace as per town planning act; it will liable to demolish.
but temporary covering you can do.

flat below your flat has problem of leakage of his slab and not your terrace .you have to only co-operate to do water proofing work .need not to contribute.
check society constitution ,is there society is binding to do individual repairing is allowed ?and extra funds and reserve funds and sufficient balance is available or not ?
