Stacey Watson and her children face daily risks from electrical hazards, water damage and vermin in their two-bedroom property, where leaks have caused extensive damage to wiring and flooring.
Watson's 14-year-old daughter Leona has been forced to miss school to interpret for her mother during council visits.
A deaf mother-of-three has been forced to live in dangerous conditions for years in an Ealing flat deemed 'uninhabitable' by council surveyors.
A spokesperson said: "The conditions she has experienced in her home as a consequence of leaks are unacceptable... Our surveyor has deemed the property as uninhabitable.
Watson's landlord, Hsing Tu-Lu, claims Ealing Council is responsible for repairs.
