Tenant-rights advice for Thomas in San Francisco: a short consultation

Looking for housing-law advice in California: a refusal to repair mold.

San Francisco
My landlord in San Francisco has given me a refusal to repair mold. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other. I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in California could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect. I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in California would also be appreciated. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
