A landlord has an implied warranty of habitability. A lack of water or heat are typical but, if the landlord is aware of the safety issues,
A well constructed letter, describing the situation, and demanding they either secure the premises from crime or let you off the lease will probably get the landlord to agree to let you break the lease.
You cannot break the lease on your own but it would not be a bad idea to remind that if a serious crime causes harm to you, they are on notice and it is no different than if you slipped and fell on the ice.
