Subject: Urgent Notice: Demand to Clean Up Property ā First Notice from Tenant to Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to the unsatisfactory condition of the [specific property] located in Bronx, New York. As a tenant, I have been experiencing numerous issues which have significantly affected my living standards, health, and well-being. First and foremost, I would like to highlight the unkept state of the common areas and shared spaces within the premises. The hallways, staircases, and entrance ways have progressively deteriorated over time, accumulating excessive dirt, grime, and trash. The unattended garbage bins and the overall lack of cleanliness have attracted pests and vermin, posing a health hazard to all occupants. These conditions are unsightly, unhygienic, and directly contradict the terms of our lease agreement, which obligates the landlord to maintain the property in a habitable and clean condition. Furthermore, it is necessary to address the frequent malfunctioning of essential facilities and fixtures within the property. The plumbing system is persistently faulty with recurring leaks, clogged drains, and mold growth. These issues not only compromise our comfort but also present a potential risk of water damage, structural deterioration, and the spread of mold-related illnesses. The electrical system also requires immediate attention as there are frequently flickering lights, power surges, and faulty outlets, which may result in hazardous situations or damage to personal property. Additionally, the exterior of the property demands urgent maintenance and repair. The fences surrounding the premises are dilapidated and broken, providing inadequate security. The parking area is riddled with potholes, making it treacherous for residents' vehicles. The landscaping has been neglected, resulting in overgrown weeds, dead trees, and unkempt green spaces. These elements contribute to an overall negative impression and decrease the value of the property. In light of the aforementioned issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these concerns within [specify a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the date of this letter. Please ensure that the property is cleaned, sanitized, and restored to a habitable standard. Subsequently, I urge you to arrange for professional plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance services to address the recurring issues promptly. If no appropriate action is taken within the designated timeframe, I may be compelled to explore legal remedies available to me as a tenant to safeguard my rights and seek compensation for any damages incurred. However, I sincerely hope that it does not come to such a situation, and we can resolve these matters amicably, ensuring a safe and pleasant living environment for all residents. I look forward to receiving your timely response. It is my strong belief that with your cooperation, we can resolve these concerns efficiently and maintain a mutually beneficial landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
