What can and cant we do

Iowa

There are so many aspects details and offensive behaviors and actions of the organization that we are or would like to pursue damages from in court. However any and all action that we take we want to make sure it does not in any way jeopardize our lien physician ability to collect and or place ourselves in a vulnerable position we want to operate within the scope of the law do what is necessary ethically and professionally with regards to the public and or occupants of the property that we hold a lien on and yet we would like to whistle blow on multiple offensive and harmful even dangerous actions . There are so many violations in conduct as a landlord and business professionals. I think maybe lets start w obligations/responsibilities we ultimately have to the occupants in the apartment complex we placed the lien on as well as keeping our name in good standing w the city inspectors. We were asked (instructed by demand) on numerous (regularly) to cover and conceil hazardous health conditions. Mind you the job its self was to remediate and/or repair a lengthy list of violations from the City of Des Moines Housing Inspector. These items many times in many units would b damage related to water leaks or line breakage etx. And bc of the time elapse and neglect to repair minor plumbing leaks appropriately and in addition neglect the exterior condition of the roof and gutters etc. Basically mold was a common and extensive issue. The manager/pk whom also claims ownership, was constantly demanding we paint over said mold and this was as we explained not remediating but conceiling which at no point did the manager disagree w it being covering up necessarily but rather he would either deny it was damaged as bad deny the pictures i presented were real and some times blatantly ask how we could cover up the issue so as just to pass reinspection rather than just fixing it appropriately. Because the water leaks and actual repairs are neglected for so many years the condition was extremely poor and the air quality i imagine was as well. The question is we feel obligated both professionally & ethically to report our findings to at the very leadt the tenants whom live there and the issues are clearly being hidden from them too when a conttractor enters thr premises works in the area and leave w fresh paint and the impression things are remediated. And or someone who can have the occupants best interest and health at heart and make sure the air is safe and the issues are addressed that can and will harm those living there. How do we proceed on thid subject professionally and legally?
