It is essential to highlight that unsafe living conditions and non-compliance with building codes pose significant risks to my health, safety, and overall well-being.

Engage licensed contractors or appropriate professionals qualified to rectify the identified violations in a timely manner. 3. Create an action plan outlining the necessary steps, timeline, and responsible parties for each remedial action to be taken. 4. Provide me with regular progress updates, allowing me to stay informed about the status of remediation efforts. Furthermore, I kindly request that you inform me in writing of your intent to rectify the aforementioned issues. By providing written confirmation, you acknowledge the conditions I currently endure and undertake the responsibility to address them promptly.
