Long ago I had a similar problem, called the local housing authority, they came out and condemned the property. I had to move pronto. I did get my entire deposit refunded as well as prorated rent. A bit of a hassel, but I'm glad I did it. The other people in the building weren't too happy.
After about a year with the property being vacant the owner sold the building and it was renovated as high dollar apartments.
I still think it was the best thing to do as I found a better apartment and didn't have to put up with the problems.
