If you are experiencing specific maintenance problems with your apartment or the building in which you reside, and you have contacted your building owner or manager about the problem(s) with little or no response from them, we invite you to contact Building Inspection so that we may insect the property and determine if the maintenance issues are a violation. If violations exist, we will send an Official Notice directing that they be corrected within a reasonable time limit. We will need your name, contact information, address (apartment #) and we will need access to the areas of the apartment (or part of the building ) that your complaint references.

No. Landlords cannot evict you or threaten to do so because you have reported a violation. That would be a violation of MGO32.15 State 704.45, and Agriculture Trade & Consumer Protection (ATCP) 134.09(5).
