Yes, but BE CAREFUL!
if it looks like you are retaliating for the report to the health department you can get in trouble. make sure to give lots of warnings, pleanty of time to catch up on rent, send lots of letters and be sure to document everything

In general yes you can. Non-payment of rent is a breach unless Health violation is SO egregious as to violate the implied warranty of habitability.
I would recommend retaining an attorney to look at ALL the facts before taking any action.
