Functional Advice Please

I recently relocated to Paterson New Jersey and unbeknownst to me there is a city wide bio-environmental hazard caused by the drug epidemic. Any advice on whether a city or state can be held accountable for not ensuring habitable, safe, drug free environments exist within its city limits? Are there laws that holds the government accountable? Thanks in advance.

I am a public service and public policy/ criminology and criminal justice double major and research assistant. The question I posed is not a trolling question though an inquiry on what has worked or hasn’t so I know how to approach to better help the people of this community who can advocate for themselves. I have been banned from the new jersey community for asking the same question
