I am writing to bring to your attention some critical issues regarding the property located at [Property Address] in Rancho Cucamonga, California. It has come to my attention that there are several violations of building codes that directly affect the health and safety of the tenants, as well as render the premises untenantable.

Persistent leaks, clogged drains, and dysfunctional fixtures have not only caused inconvenience but have also led to water damage, further compromising the habitability of the premises. 4.

Additionally, I kindly request that you provide written confirmation within [specify time period, e.g., 7 days] acknowledging the receipt of this letter and outline the specific actions you intend to take to correct the aforementioned building code violations. I strongly advise you to consult with certified professionals to perform the necessary repairs and upgrades to bring the property into full compliance with health and safety codes.
