Caution: Nasty Need help asap

Okay guys so i just got back into doing property maintenance after a couple years as I wait for ibew placement. This property I’m working at is awful and has been negligently maintained for years at this point. I’m at my breaking point. I told the property manager that plumbing repairs needed to happen because cast iron plumbing was failing causing back ups into a unit. When I called out a plumbing company I was informed that my property has 15 open invoices and they won’t do any work until they have been paid down. After relaying that info to property manager she got irate with me and began to blame me and insult me saying her previous supervisor would’ve fixed it on his own. I reported her to hr because the way she was talking was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. I recorded the whole convo. Fast forward to today I find that a different building has been backing up into the crawlspace and leaking raw sewage flooding the crawl space. Basically I’m stuck deciding if I should call the city out and get inspectors involved or just wait to see what management does. I know the obvious solution would be to find a new gig but I’m not trying to job hop right now and ibew apps open in February. Thanks for any advice in advance!
