Open Question: HAVE MOLD IN MY ATTIC, INSPECTOR DID NOT FIND IT. AM I SREWED?

Voting Question: What to do about a bad slumlord?
I live in a building that had a few problems that were supposed to be fixed, but no one ever came to fix them. Five maintenance requests and nothing. Then as I got to know my neighbors I noticed more and more problems and now I feel the building is actually quite dangerous. The fire escape is broken, literally missing stairs and some of the stairs look like they are about to give. The floors are bowing more and more as if the floor might collapse into the apartment below. A neighbor’s wall started falling in, and on the other side was pounds and pounds of black mold. The front doors won’t lock, or even close all the way because the door doesn’t really fit in the frame. The rental company’s rating at the better business bureau is an F, with 45 pending cases (I just found out), however they showed the apartment under a different business name, one with a clean record. There is more stuff wrong than that even (I forgot some the other stuff my neighbor was telling me), and still no maintenance request is ever answered, none of my friend’s either. And it’s not like we live in the projects, it’s an apartment building that is mostly for the students of the nearby college and people working downtown. I looked forward to the building inspector coming, but he came and gave the place a clean rating. A neighbor heard the inspector ask the owner if he was, “coming out with us later.” My friends thought I was kidding when I said all this to them at first, like I was making up the worst possible slumlord, but then I showed them the apartment, and the certain-death fire escape. From what my neighbor saw, and what I’ve heard from other people in the community, the land owner owns a huge chunk of this side of town and a lot of people are in his pocket. What do I do?

Resolved Question: Landlord will not fix sinking bathtub/rotted floor! Your advise? Read Further..?
First off, I know this sounds crazy, but its all true and like a bad dream! Ok, starting back at the beginning 4 months ago we told him about our toilet wheezing and I had to bump it to make it stop from running and it sprayed water from between floor and toilet. Well he fixes a small blue piece in back of toilet and leaves. about 1 hour later starts doing it all over again. He stated he would get a plumber over and we have yet to see a plumber. About a week/week and a half goes by then I noticed the front of our tub is sinking about 2 inches into the floor, so I get down on my knees remove the loose tile and look between wall and tub (there’s about 8 inches between) and theres a 6X6 hole in the floor around the pipe and I remove the next tile to find white cotton like mold and also notice near hole area the woodwork is black and looks to be black mold! Again I call him and tell hims about it. He comes looks at it a week later and tells me hes going to prop the tub up! (Mind you the floor is decaying and paper thin) and then says he will send a mold inspecter, again we have yet to see anyone. Needless to say another 3-4 weeks has went by so we sent him a certified note for a reminder. Its been about another month sense he signed for the letter and we hear nothing, instead we open our front door a few days ago to a letter that says this is tenants responsibility! And the letter also stated because of us not using the gas heat caused all this mess with the floor due to moisture. Well hello when this all begain it was still in the 60/70’s outside so why on gods green earth would we use the gas heat if its 60+ degress out? Anyways, there has been a whole in our laundry room for a year now that hes known of and our yard stays wet even when it was 60+ outside and no rain….Just last year he had to replace the floor in bathroom and hole infront of toilet and the decayed sink due to a leak we believe. He fixed no pipes last year and only the floor and replaced sink, the tub side of the floor was never replaced and still has the old floor. Anyways, we called the plumber ourselves and they said yes indeed theres a leak and it doesnt suprise them because all of these little houses our landlord owns floors are falling through and or have been replaced. Basically he does not want to fix this, and is trying to put this off on us. Does he have a right to?? Aint this his responsibility being the landlord and us being the tenants? Any advice will be much appreciated!

Also, We called Code Enforcement and they stood and told us there has to be a dark damp area in order to get mold, mind you the floor is rotted and has a hole arround the pipe and our bathtub is sinking for cris sakes! So obviously there is dampness! My wife has been coughing up yellow/green flim and I have as well for about 2 months now, we have both been having diarrhea and my wife’s scalp has abnormally bloches of dry scalp with red rash looking things that i’ve never scene before. My wife has a weak amune system as she has Rheumatoid Arthritis in most of her joints and is in a wheelchair and has been sense she was a young child. I don’t know who else to call to get this problem taken care of. I’ve been to the health department, the man told me he didn’t have the enforcement to do anything and gave me a number to call Code Enforcement which I did and was told by them they can not do anything, it is in HUD Inspectors hands. I don’t understand what the deal is with these people he stood and told me hiself that they supervise the HUD inspectors, so why wouldnt they be able to do anything about the situation?

Sorry about the long story. I just need to vent a little and don’t know what else I can do, I know this isn’t safe nor is it normal and Im running out of ideas of what to do? Your Advice??????
