Title: Yonkers New York Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand for Repair of Unsafe or Broken Lights or Wiring Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of an urgent matter regarding the safety and functionality of the lighting and wiring in my rented property. It has come to my attention that certain lights and electrical fixtures are in a state of disrepair, posing significant risks to both myself and other tenants. As per our rental agreement and the responsibilities outlined in the Yonkers New York Tenant-Landlord Law, I kindly request your immediate attention to rectify these unsafe conditions. Main Content: 1. Description of the Unsafe or Broken Lights: In my unit, the following lights, switches, or wiring mechanisms are malfunctioning, broken, or not functioning at all: — The hallway light on the second floor is constantly flickering and sometimes goes off completely. — The light fixture in the bathroom has been non-functional for the past two weeks. — The outdoor lighting near the main entrance has not been operational since I moved in. — Several wall outlets in the living room and bedroom sporadically lose power, which poses a fire hazard. 2. Explanation of Potential Hazards: The present condition of these lights and wiring systems raises serious safety concerns. A faulty electrical setup can lead to several hazardous situations, such as: — Increased risk of fire due to faulty wiring or overloaded circuits. — Inadequate lighting causing potential accidents, especially in common areas like hallways or staircases. — Electrical shocks due to exposed wires or faulty switches, putting residents at risk of injury. 3. Tenant's Efforts to Resolve the Issue: Before bringing this matter to your attention, I attempted to address the lighting and wiring issues personally. However, my attempts were unsuccessful in restoring full functionality and ensuring safety. I believe that these repairs require professional expertise and intervention to ensure compliance with state and local safety codes. 4. Legal Responsibilities and Obligations: According to the Yonkers New York Tenant-Landlord Law, it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain the property in a habitable and safe condition, including proper lighting and electrical systems. Neglecting to address these issues not only infringes upon my rights as a tenant but also puts your legal obligations at risk. 5. Request for Immediate Action and Repair: Considering the potential dangers associated with the current state of lighting and wiring, I kindly request that you promptly: — Arrange for a professional, licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection of the property. — Repair or replace any faulty or broken lights, switches, or wiring as per the expert's recommendations. — Provide a written timeline for completing the required repairs and a timeline for addressing any safety hazards discovered.
