What issues are resulting from the problem? Is it simply that you're annoyed that the gutters aren't working properly?
Roof water falls directly onto my large and regularly-used private balcony area, affecting my use of it and leaving a mess from the roof crud being directed there. The leakage is, as I said, substantial; the gutters, etc. could be removed and the problem wouldn't be too much worse.

This is not a habitability issue affecting the apartment, but the landlord's failure to maintain according to code is interfering with my normal, reasonable use of a space that I pay to lease from them.

If the gutters weren't emptying onto my balcony (or an entryway), I couldn't care less if they leaked.

This matter has been put to the landlord several times, going back a few years. This is a large, "professionally managed" apartment complex. The landlord's repeated response has been that they will get it as soon as they can. Rent is always paid on time and in full, and I don't cause any problems (other than expecting maintenance). I am tired of it and I am looking to push this forward.

Thanks.
