Subject: Urgent Demand for Remedy of Building Code Violations Affecting Health and Safety — Fargo, ND Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.

As a tenant, I have noticed several violations of the building codes in the premises that are severely impacting my health, safety, and overall livability of the property. I kindly request your immediate attention and necessary actions to rectify these issues outlined below. 1. Failure to Maintain Adequate Ventilation: — A lack of proper ventilation within the property has led to poor air quality, stagnant odors, and mold growth, all of which pose health risks. — Request: Please install suitable ventilation systems or address the existing ones to ensure a constant flow of fresh air throughout the living areas. 2. Inadequate Plumbing and Sanitation: — Persistent plumbing issues, such as recurrent leaks, low water pressure, and clogged drains, have created unhygienic conditions. — Request: Please engage professional plumbers to assess and resolve the plumbing problems promptly, ensuring a functional and sanitary environment. 3. Electrical Hazards: — Numerous exposed wires, improperly grounded outlets, and malfunctioning electrical fixtures pose significant safety hazards to both myself and other residents. — Request: We kindly urge you to employ licensed electricians to thoroughly inspect and repair all electrical systems, ensuring compliance with relevant safety codes. 4. Structural Integrity and Safety: — Ongoing structural defects, including cracks in walls, ceilings, and floors, jeopardize the overall stability of the property and put the inhabitants at risk of accidents or injuries. — Request: It is essential to hire a certified structural engineer to assess the property and carry out necessary repairs to reinstate its safety and integrity. 5. Fire Safety Concerns: — Lack of functioning smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, or poorly maintained fire escape routes violate both building codes and endanger the lives of everyone residing in the building. — Request: Immediate installation of functional smoke detectors and accessible fire extinguishers, coupled with clearly marked and properly maintained fire escape routes are required to ensure the safety of all occupants. As my rights, as well as the rights of fellow tenants, are being compromised due to these violations, I kindly request that you take immediate action to remedy the aforementioned issues within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter.
