Subject: Notice of Broken Doors and Request for Urgent Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding the doors in my rented property, located at [Property Address] in the Bronx, New York. It has come to my attention that certain doors within the premises are broken and require immediate attention and repair. I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining a safe and secure living environment for all tenants. The broken doors pose a significant safety and security risk, leaving the property vulnerable to unauthorized access, potential break-ins, and compromising our well-being. Specifically, the following doors are in urgent need of repair: 1.

Apartment Door: — The door handle and lock have become loose, making it prone to unauthorized entry. — The door frame is cracked, creating an insecure and potential entry point for insects or vermin. I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues to restore the security and safety of the property. As per the terms of our lease agreement and the obligations outlined in the New York City Housing Maintenance Code, it is the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that the premises are maintained in good and habitable condition.
