Property Management
A Colorado tenant who believes their landlord has violated the Warranty of Habitability should first:

BB. Provide written notice to the landlord specifying the conditions that make the unit uninhabitable and requesting repair within a reasonable time✓ Correct

DD. Call the police
Explanation
Under Colorado's Warranty of Habitability statute, a tenant must give the landlord written notice of the uninhabitable conditions and a reasonable opportunity to repair. If the landlord fails to remedy the conditions within the statutory timeframe (generally 24 hours for emergencies, 72 hours for urgent conditions, or up to 10 days for non-urgent), the tenant may pursue remedies including rent withholding, repair-and-deduct, or lease termination.
