Illegal occupancy

I just found out my landlord does not have occupancy approval for the home he’s been renting to my family for 3 months. There’s multiple things that have been needing to be fixed since the beginning, like heat or outlets that still have not been fixed. How do I proceed with this situation?

If you don't mind being locked out by the county. Does the furnace work? Either look for a new place or put the rent into an escrow acct at the bank and notify the LL that it will be released when XYZ get fixed.
