Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I live in an old building. In less than six months I have had over $500.00 in flood damages, two floods, 1 month where I had to use the apartment next door due to lack of hot water, and now there is a bedbug infestation that 3 sprayings have not remedied. They have a rule that you cannot change apartment in the first six months of your lease. This studio is not livable. I have missed days of work due to exterminations, and flood work. I have also missed work due to severe bed bug bites. I have insomnia which is getting worse, and my dog is ill due to the stress of this all. In short, this studio is destroying my life. Do I have any grounds to sue for emotional stress or anything at all?
