How do you go about complaining about a bad landlord/owner?

I think this apartment complex is still privately owned, but the new owner treats it like it is a section 8 complex. He has now refused to have the lawn mowed, the ********* maintenance man is in jail, there is a hole in the roof of the upstairs apartment, and it rained into my closet as the rain trickled down the stairs. I called the sorry tail landlady, and she told me there is nothing she can do, and that she was aware of it.
I moved into these apartments 8 yrs ago because they were cheap, and managed by an elderly Pentecostal couple who kept this place clean and neat. They didn’t allow people to put barbecue grills on the front lawn and sit outside talking loud til all hours of the night. But, they had to sell due to failing health. And this new owner could care less.
I’m working and going to school, so I was trying to stick it out until I graduate, but this is ridiculous!!!
To William,
I know he is a ******* because the landlady told me he put child **** on her computer, and she had him arrested. I have nothing against Section 8. It has helped many deserving people, but there are people who use and manipulate the system. If I come across as having a bad attitude, it is because of what these apartments have become. This has been my home for 8 yrs, and these people have come in that have little respect for anything or anyone. Before you judge me, read between the lines.

ok on june 8th 2007 i was working for a race tack and got burnt really bad. i was only 15 years old and they had me working a huge gas grill, one of the uge barbecue grills. my boss lit the grill and turned the gas up. then he shut the lid, i went out 10 minutes to check on the burgers and i noticed the flame went out. so i shut the lid and went in and got a lighter to light it. when i lit it, the grill blew up because of all the gas built up inside of the grill. i was in the hospital burn unit for 1 day and have scars from it. should i sue? also i have pictures if u would like to see them.
