Some municipalities have a Landlord and Tennant Advisory board. Call the city,and find out what resources there are for you. Your faulty stairs sound like a safety hazard, and possibly public health can put pressure on the owners to repair. Not too sure about the fireplace. I guess that would depend on what the problem is there. I am guessing something go in there, and died.
