[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE OF FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH BUILDING CODES AFFECTING HEALTH AND SAFETY — DEMAND FOR REMEDY I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the current state of the property at [Property Address], which I am leasing from you. Unfortunately, I have discovered several issues that pose serious health and safety risks, thereby rendering the unit uninhabitable. Firstly, it has come to my attention that the property is not in compliance with the applicable building codes enforced by the Palm Beach County authorities. As a result, I have outlined below the specific code violations that urgently need to be addressed: 1. [Keyword: Electrical Hazards] — Multiple electrical outlets within the premises are defective, exposing live wires and creating a significant fire risk. This situation poses a serious threat to my safety and those within the vicinity. 2. [Keyword: Structural Integrity] — The structural integrity of the building has been compromised due to cracks in the walls, sagging ceilings, and a visible shift in the foundation. This deficiency not only jeopardizes my safety but also raises concerns about the long-term stability of the property. 3. [Keyword: Plumbing Problems] — The plumbing system is malfunctioning, manifesting in frequent water leaks, flooding, and subsequent mold growth. This unsanitary condition poses health hazards, such as respiratory issues and allergies, which are detrimental to my well-being. 4. [Keyword: Fire Safety] — The absence of functional fire alarms, inadequate emergency exit signs, and blocked escape routes means that in the event of a fire, there is an increased risk of injury or even loss of life due to an inability to quickly evacuate the premises. These violations not only violate my basic rights as a tenant but also constitute a breach of your duty to provide a habitable living environment as stipulated under the lease agreement and Florida Landlord-Tenant Act. In light of the aforementioned circumstances, I kindly request your immediate attention to remedy these issues within 14 days of receiving this letter. Failure to do so may leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action, report these violations to the Palm Beach County authorities, and seek compensation for any damages, including termination of the lease agreement. I trust that you will prioritize these matters and take swift action to rectify the building code violations, ensuring that the property meets the required health and safety standards. I eagerly anticipate your prompt response in writing, outlining the specific actions you intend to take to resolve these concerns. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
