where do i go to report health violations in the house i'm renting that my landlord won't fix?

Go to your local city hall and ask to see the building inspector. They will come to your house and make note of all violations. You could also report your problems to the fire marshall at you local fire department. They make annual visits to all rentals.

I can understand your frustration as I am a landlord, but I keep my units in top shape. If they are maintained regularly, then it is cheaper to fix.

I would like to give you a suggestion before calling city hall or the county you live in. You said you have requested for her to fix things and never has. The quickest thing to do that will tick off your landlord is turn them in. Even though you said you have talked to her, she may deny every conversation. To help yourself, take pictures and document everything. Then send her a certified letter, with return receipt so that you have proof she signed for it. The letter should explain in a nice way the problems, and list of concerns you have and pictures. Try not to be demanding, but be firm. Put a date out there, that you wish to meet with her to set a timeline to fix these problems. If she does not respond, or sets a date and misses the deadline, then take all this information to the city or county. Another suggestion is when you get an answer from her, request in you letter it be in writing. And the date you put out there should be a minimum of 10 working days to allow for mail delivery and response time.

Good luck, If you need more help check my profile and email me.

You can report it to the county, but, if the county determines the condition is hazardous, you will have to vacate the house. The good thing is you probably won't have to pay the last month rent.

Contact the county health dept. The number is in the white pages of the phone book or you can find it online.

call the net office they will have someone come out and look at the apartment and fine your landlord good luck.
