As I understand it, the landlord is required to maintain it essentially in the condition it was in when you moved in. So if there were working appliances when you rented it, they are responsible for the maintenance. If you are asking is the landlord required to provide new stuff when you move in, no.
Landlord needs to fix it unless tenant damaged it. If the Landlord doesn't fix it call Code Enforcement.

The purpose of obtaining Landlord Contents Insurance is to protect the landlord from damage or loss caused by tenants. This insurance may cover appliances, fixtures, and furnishings.
The three day notice is also called "Fix or Quit". Which means in 72 hours you need to fix the breach, or quit the lease. If you pay the rent and the landlord accepts it, your leasehold continues. If you attempt to pay the rent and the landlord refuses it, keep a record of the date, time, and place (you may even wish to bring a witness with you). Refusing the rent, shows the landlord did not follow through properly on the 3 day notice to fix or quit. You chose the option to fix the breach but the landlord rejected it. While this may not fix the eviction, it will look better for you in housing court.
