I am writing to bring an urgent matter to your attention regarding the unsafe or broken lights and wiring in [Apartment/House Unit Number] at [Property Address]. As a concerned tenant, I feel it is crucial to address this issue promptly to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. Firstly, I would like to emphasize the importance of maintaining a well-lit and secure living environment. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed several lights within common areas, including hallways, stairwells, and parking lots, that are either malfunctioning or completely non-operational. These areas have become dangerously dim or pitch-black during the evening, posing a significant security concern for all tenants. It is imperative that these lights are repaired or replaced as soon as possible to deter any potential criminal activities and ensure our safety. Furthermore, I have noticed signs of potential electrical issues within my own unit. There have been frequent power fluctuations, flickering lights, and minor electrical shocks when using certain outlets. These occurrences indicate a more profound underlying problem with the wiring infrastructure, which could potentially lead to more serious hazards such as electrical fires or physical harm. I urge you to arrange for a qualified electrician to thoroughly assess and address these electrical issues without delay, to mitigate any potential risks and ensure the safety of all residents. Considering the urgency and importance of these repairs, I kindly request that you take immediate action to engage licensed professionals to conduct the necessary assessments and repairs. Timely attention to these matters not only safeguards the lives and well-being of the tenants but also serves to protect the property from any potential liability.

Please provide me with the name and contact information of the assigned professionals, as well as a detailed repair plan, so I can better coordinate access to my unit.
