The entire apartment complex is infested with cockroaches. My apartment is clean, but it does not matter. Roaches come from next door, which comes from their next door. It is a huge problem. My son has seroius medical problems and I am nervous about bugs spreading germs.

The landlord is definitely responsible for keeping the apartment substantially free from vermin (bugs). And you are right to be concerned about cockroaches, because they can trigger asthma attacks. If your landlord will not do anything, call the City of San Diego Neighborhood Code Compliance department at (619) 236-5500 and ask them to inspect your apartment.
