[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Demand for Remedy: Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing concern regarding the failure of the premises at [Property Address] to comply with building codes that directly affect the health and safety of the tenants, as well as result in an untenantable condition. As per my rights defined by the Tenants' Rights Guide of Boston, Massachusetts, I hereby demand that you promptly address these issues and remedy the situation within a reasonable time frame as defined by law. [List specific building code violations, health hazards, and untenantable conditions] Building code violations: 1. [Describe the specific building code violations, such as inadequate fire safety measures, non-functioning smoke detectors, lack of emergency exits, or faulty electrical wiring, etc.] Health hazards: 1. [Specify health hazards resulting from the violations, such as mold growth, water damage, pest infestation, or inadequate ventilation, etc.] Untenantable conditions: 1. [Enumerate any conditions that render the property untenantable, for example, a malfunctioning heating system during winter, severe structural damage, lack of essential utilities like water or electricity, or any other condition that makes the property uninhabitable, etc.] These violations and untenantable conditions not only jeopardize the safety and wellbeing of the tenants but also infringe upon our rights as stated in the Boston Housing Code and the Massachusetts General Laws. I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the violations and ensure that the property meets all required safety and habitability standards to protect our health and security. In accordance with both the regulations and your obligations as a landlord, I demand the following remedies: 1. Immediate repair and rectification of all listed building code violations, prioritizing health and safety concerns. 2. Swift mitigation of the identified health hazards, such as mold removal, pest control treatment, ventilation improvements, or water damage repair, as applicable. 3. Restoration of any untenantable conditions, ensuring essential utilities are restored, heating systems are functional, and any necessary structural repairs are promptly undertaken to provide a livable environment. I kindly request that you respond to this letter within [reasonable timeline, e.g., 14 days] with a detailed plan outlining the steps you will take to address these issues. Furthermore, please provide an estimated timeline for completion of the necessary repairs and remediation. Failure to comply with these demands not only constitutes a breach of your obligations as a landlord but may also result in legal actions being pursued to enforce compliance, seek damages, and ensure the safety and rights of the affected tenants. However, I hope that we can resolve these matters amicably and avoid any such measures. I look forward to your prompt attention and action in rectifying these issues. You may contact me at the provided details to discuss any concerns or clarify any information related to this matter. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
