Firstly maggot flies are not invisible(otherwise they could not study them could they?) Nature of Things

So, you moved into a new apartment without checking out the LandLord? Tch Tch Tch

He is around but not around? It is called Avoidance.

Lawyer should have been involved as soon as you see things are not taken care of in a timely manner.

He knows everything that is not up to code.. You were not responsible to clean it up unless you were at fault. But when it comes out of the bathtub, something is wrong with the plumbing in the whole building. Many landlords just do minor maintenance and collect rent "for the owner of the building"
Landlords are also given the duty to kick out non paying tenants.. This LL is not being helpful to you what-so-ever. He knows the loops that a tenant must go through to get after the owner. But LL would be cutting his own throat by telling you, so he tries to avoid your situation or calling a plumber in(as this comes out of the owner's profit margin >and basically the owner has told the LL that...to keep the people kind of happy and accepting the excuses put out.

These guys(the owners) are insured for this kind of thing. So, it does not even come out of their pocket..
Your signed agreement is to pay the rent and you have not done that - so he has the Legal right to kick you out.

Read your tenancy agreement/photocopy it and compare it with what he is legally allowed to do.
And what you are legally allowed to do.
You could inform the Health Inspectors and the Safety Board to examine the construction.
It is gonna be a war, but you pay rent to them(a business arrangement), not trying to make friends with him or the LL
