My landlord knowingly rents out a place with code violations. What are the possible consequences?

For context, the greatest hazards are electrical (wiring was not done by a professional) and it’s an open stairway (big gaps between stairs and the platform between floors is wide open).

Not a whole lot of consequences unless you’re going to be a total jerk and try to get them fined. Why not just move if you’re unhappy?

I guess the consequences could be the place burns down and the people running for their lives fall down the stairs. Seriously, if you report her, the consequences probably won't amount to much. It's possible she'll be fined. Or she'll give the inspector a tip and that'll be the end of it.

better off moving. not all landlords are lousy cheapskates

The landlord tenant relationship is precious. For every landlord that’s lousy, there’s a tenant willing to put up with it. Consider moving out if those things bother you

We are moving out. We have small, now very mobile children and raised it as a “need to address the stairs” and our landlord declined to renew the lease. A new couple is moving in. I don’t know if they have kids but doubt the landlord will make any improvements since they tend to do cheapest option only while we’ve been living here (3years).

^^yes! You’ve moved out, good riddance

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?
