Subject: Urgent Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Demand for Immediate Repairs — Nassau, New York Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. First and foremost, I would like to express my appreciation for promptly addressing maintenance issues in the past. However, I regret to inform you that certain pressing concerns within the rental property have reached a critical state, giving rise to an urgent need for immediate repairs. As per applicable legislation and your responsibilities as the landlord, I am compelled to formally notify you of the current state of the premises and demand remedial actions to rectify the situation. The following issues make the property uninhabitable, thereby violating the laws enforced in Nassau, New York: 1. Structural Hazards: The presence of severe cracks in the foundation and walls of the apartment pose an imminent threat to the structural integrity of the building. This hazardous condition jeopardizes the safety of all tenants and must be addressed urgently to prevent potential accidents, injuries, or even structural collapse. 2. Plumbing and Water Damage: The plumbing system within the premises requires immediate attention. Persistent leaks, uncontrollable water pressure, and malfunctioning fixtures have resulted in significant water damage, leading to mold growth. This compromised indoor quality poses severe health risks, especially for tenants who suffer from respiratory conditions. 3. Electrical Problems: The property's electrical system poses a serious hazard. Frequent power outages, exposed wires, and malfunctioning outlets have not only caused inconvenience but also increase the risk of electrical fires. This issue must be attended to promptly to ensure the safety of all residents. 4. Pest Infestation: The apartment is infested with a severe pest problem, including rodents and insects. This infestation poses health risks, property damage, and severe discomfort to residents. Timely professional pest control measures need to be implemented to eradicate this issue effectively. 5. Security Concerns: The property lacks the necessary security measures to ensure the safety of its residents. Broken locks, inadequate lighting, and inadequate access control jeopardize our personal safety and the security of our belongings. Immediate installation and repair of secure locks and lighting are essential to alleviate this concern. Given the severity of these issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action within the legally mandated timeframe to repair and rectify the aforementioned problems. I trust that you will prioritize these repairs in order to comply with your obligations as the landlord and safeguard the wellbeing of your tenants. According to local regulations, you are required to respond to this notice in writing within [number of days] to confirm receipt and outline a detailed plan for remedial actions. I kindly request that you keep me informed throughout the repair process. Should you fail to address these concerns in a timely and appropriate manner, I may have no choice but to seek legal remedies and exercise my rights under Nassau, New York law to ensure the habitability of the property. I remain hopeful that the swift resolution of these issues will allow us to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship and preserve the value and livability of the property. I thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
