Sam, there are two things you should do right away.
1) Google Colorado Landlord-Tenant law (handbook)
Look for the sections on repairs and building codes...
heating/windows and the words "habitable" and "example letter"
2) Put everything in writing, and mail it US postage first class, unless the handbook says something different.
Having Mrs Landlord as an attorney does make your task somewhat more difficult,
but you too can/should get an attorney if you want to stay in this same place.
Usually, there are attorneys who will give one-time advise or
even write a letter or two on your behalf, without charge.
Best wishes for what may be a difficult journey ahead.
