Can you break a lease if there are continuous problems with the city inspectors coming out to the property?
No you can't. There are grounds for breaking a lease but the fact that inspectors are continually coming out to the property is not one of them. You will need to show that your life or health is in danger before you can legally break a lease.
Is a lease binding if you do not know who owns property?
The owner of property that includes rental units may appoint an agent to manage the property and will give that agent certain legal powers to act on behalf of the fee owner. Sometimes there is a recorded instrument that sets forth the name of the management company. If a management company has been properly appointed a lease executed by it would be binding on the lessee even if not signed by the actual property owner. On the other hand, if the lease was executed by a person other than the owner who does not have the legal authority to execute a lease on behalf of the property owner then the lease may be invalid. You could check in the city assessor's records and in the land records for the owner of the property. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your area who could review the lease for validity.
