My neighbors upstairs are letting their dogs urinate on their balcony, which urine then drips through the cracks of the plank balcony floor and lands on my balcony. I have reported this time and time again to management and also to corporate when I got no help from the on-site landlord. After each complaint my neighbors retaliate by stomping loudly on the floor for long periods of time and by playing loud music during "quiet hours". I have had to resort to calling the local police on one occasion. What can I do? I have been in this same apartment for 3 years now and have 10 months to go on my present lease.

The neighbors are not going to change.
Your choices: (a) move or (2) put up with it.

You might want to research your local landlord and tenant laws to see if you have any recourse. Some cities have a mediation dept set up for these types of issues.
You can also ask that management company to move you to another unit when one opens.
I would continue calling the police on loud music, eventually your neighbors will get cited.
There has to be some sort of ordinance on the animal waste too.

Simply by the fact that I am unable to be on my patio/balcony for fear of being the recipient of a "golden shower". Isn't that enough?

By refusing to address the situation - they said it was a dispute between me and them and we had to learn to get along.
The apartment complex has no control over you or the bad people.
