Two part question: If safety checks on smoke detectors is at a minimum once a year, is there a maximum? Apt manager, always accompanies whomever is needed; maintenance, Fire Marshall [smoke detectors] etc. With the intent to check for "unreported issues", yet the notes she leaves behind are criticisms, that are not related to any safety, health, or rodent pest issues. Rather things about cleaning skills, and clothes not put away recently increased to actual orders with deadlines, with no explanation or inquiry to renter. When does negative, unwanted opinion become harassing? Thanks from paying rent not doing time.
 
It might be time for you to locate new digs.
If that's not an option, you could escalate your concerns to the property owner, avoiding the manager lackey.
The caustic comments might already have risen to the level of harassing, but that doesn't make them illegal.

In some cases, it could be possible to ask why the comments seem unrelated to the covenants of your leasehold. If you think a civil discourse is possible, try engaging the manager in same.

I have a feeling we are only getting part of the story as I imagine the fire marshal has better things to do than regularly inspect your apartment for neatly folded baskets of laundry that haven't made their way into the drawers yet. Nevertheless, unless your lease stipulates conditions under which the landlord may enter, this isn't an area addressed by law.
