Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken Doors — Suffolk, New York [Insert Date] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing as a concerned tenant residing in [Your Address], Suffolk, New York, bringing to your attention a critical maintenance issue that requires immediate attention. I regret to inform you that multiple doors within the premises have been severely damaged and are no longer functioning properly. Specifically, I have observed the following issues: 1. Entrance Door (Apartment XYZ): The lock mechanism is faulty, causing it to jam frequently. Additionally, the door frame appears to be slightly cracked, compromising security. 2. Front Door (Building XYZ): The door latch is broken, making it difficult to lock or unlock. This poses a significant safety hazard, as it compromises the security of the entire building. 3. Communal Door (Floor XYZ): The door closer mechanism is non-functional, resulting in the door slamming shut abruptly. This not only poses a danger to residents but also hampers the door's lifespan. These issues have been persisting for an extended period, and despite previous verbal reports to the building manager, no action has been taken to address them. Given the importance of secure and functional doors for the safety and peace of mind of all tenants, I kindly request your immediate intervention to rectify these problems. Broken doors not only compromise the security of our living spaces but also pose safety risks, potential property damage, and inconvenience for all residents. I believe it is in the best interest of all parties involved to prioritize prompt repairs and ensure that the doors are restored to their proper working condition. In light of the urgency, I kindly request that you initiate the necessary repairs within the next 7 business days from the receipt of this letter. I am confident that this timeframe will allow adequate time for contractors to identify and fix the issues in a comprehensive manner. Should you require access to the apartment to assess the damages firsthand, please let me know, and I will make the necessary arrangements to ensure a convenient time for both parties. I would appreciate if you could inform me of the scheduled repair date and any other pertinent information related to this matter. Please be advised that failure to address this matter promptly may result in legal action taken by the tenants collectively to enforce our rights to adequately maintained premises under the lease agreement. I remain hopeful that you will take swift action to resolve this issue and ensure the safety and security of all residents. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
