Title: Cambridge Massachusetts Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety — Demand for Remedy Keywords: Cambridge, Massachusetts, letter, tenant, landlord, failure, comply, building codes, health and safety, untenantable condition, demand, remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to a serious matter concerning the building codes in our rental property at [Rental Property Address], here in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As you are aware, as a landlord, you have the legal responsibility to ensure that the property is in compliance with all applicable building codes and regulations. It has come to my attention that several violations have occurred, which have resulted in a potential threat to my health, safety, and overall livability of the premises. Firstly, there have been repeated incidents of water leakage in the unit, leading to the growth of mold and mildew. This not only poses significant health risks but also creates an unsightly and unbearable living environment. It is essential that immediate action is taken to address this issue by repairing and waterproofing the affected areas to prevent any further damage. Secondly, the electrical system in the building is in a concerning condition. I have noticed numerous faulty outlets, flickering lights, and occasional power surges, which not only pose a risk of electrical fire but also inconvenience and potential danger to other tenants. A thorough inspection by a licensed electrician is urgently required to rectify these hazardous conditions. Furthermore, the overall state of the common areas and walkways of the property is deplorable. Broken handrails, cracked pavements, and inadequate lighting are several persistent issues that compromise the safety of all occupants. It is imperative that these deficiencies are adequately addressed to ensure secure and comfortable access for all tenants and visitors. Given the severity of the aforementioned issues and the implications they have on my health and safety, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these concerns. I expect a written response from you within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 business days] outlining the steps you will take to remedy these violations and ensure compliance with the building codes. In the event that you fail to take immediate action or refuse to address these serious concerns promptly, I may be left with no option but to seek legal counsel or report the violations to the appropriate authorities. I trust that it will not come to this, and we can resolve this matter amicably. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and receiving your written response within the aforementioned timeframe. Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
