You'll want a lawyer before you do anything drastic. Reach out to Pine Tree Legal and ask for a consultation. IIRC they're free.

I do not know the laws around roach infestations, but as with many issues affecting the habitability of a unit, you might be able to pay for the fix yourself and deduct it from your rent.

Regardless of whatever decision you make, you will want to keep a written or digital record of your actions, experiences, and communications and you will probably want to begin to look for new housing. Landlords tend to not look kindly on tenants exercising their rights.
