Not merely having the commercial property in full compliance with all required state, county, or municipal codes, would not likely provide the legal excuse necessary to permit you to abandon your lease with impunity.

No, something much more drastic in terms of the derogation of your right to the quiet enjoyment of your leased property in furtherance of your business purposes would likely be required in order to allow for the kind of lease termination which you've proposed.
