Can this be used to evict? If eviction process was started can I use all of the safety issues landlord didn't fix against him?..

In non-rent control area the landlord does not need a reason to terminate a month to month agreement. You can raise retaliation as a defense if the landlord terminated the tenancy because you requested repairs. It would be your burden to prove retaliation in court if it gets to that point.
