Yes! I had issues with my neglectful landlord and had the city apply the pressure. The day after I called, an inspector came out and cited my landlord so he was forced to address the issues in my apartment. I also let him know in writing, that I wouldn’t be paying rent until everything was resolved (the inspector said I was justified in withholding rent). I can say a month later, everything is 100% better. OP please contact the city and they will inform you of your rights as a tenant!
