[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue regarding the heater in my rental unit located at [address]. Unfortunately, the state of the heater is currently broken, unsafe, and inadequate in providing sufficient warmth and comfort to sustain proper living conditions in the dwelling. I have noticed several concerning signs that indicate the heater requires immediate attention and repair, all of which are in direct violation of my rights as a tenant. These issues include: 1. Insufficient Heat: Despite adjusting the thermostat and following the instructions provided by you, it is evident that the heater is not producing adequate heat to maintain a comfortable living environment. The lack of warmth has made it unbearable for me to reside in the unit during colder periods, leading to discomfort and potential health risks. 2. Unreliable Performance: The heater frequently malfunctions, often ceasing to operate altogether. This inconsistency leaves me exposed to drastic temperature drops, compromising my health and safety and subjecting me to discomfort, especially during the frigid winter months. 3. Safety Hazards: In addition to the heater's poor performance, I have observed numerous safety hazards associated with its operation. These include unusual noises, sparks, and a persistent burning smell which seriously concerns me about the potential for fire or carbon monoxide leaks. It is evident that the current state of the heater poses a significant risk to my well-being and the integrity of the rental property itself. I would like to remind you of your legal obligation as a landlord to provide a safe and habitable living environment to your tenants, as stated in the New York State Department of Health regulations. Given the severity of the situation and the potential risks involved, I respectfully request that you immediately act upon the following remedies: 1. Prompt Inspection: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the heater by a qualified HVAC professional to assess the extent of the issues and identify necessary repairs or replacements. 2. Immediate Repairs: Engage licensed heating contractors or technicians to swiftly address any identified problems with the heater. It must be restored to a fully functional state and ensure it operates safely, providing sufficient heat to maintain a comfortable living environment. 3. Regular Maintenance: Establish and follow a regular maintenance schedule for the heater to prevent potential future breakdowns and ensure long-term functionality and safety. I kindly request your urgent attention to this matter within [mention a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 48 hours, one week]. Please provide me with written confirmation of the actions taken and the timeline for resolution, as required by law. If necessary repairs or replacements cannot be completed immediately, I request temporary heating alternatives be provided as a temporary solution until the issue is fully resolved. In the event that prompt action is not taken within the specified timeframe, I will be left with no choice but to seek appropriate remedies available to me under New York State rental laws, including but not limited to withholding rent, contacting local authorities, or seeking legal counsel. I trust that you will understand the urgency of this matter and act promptly to rectify the broken, unsafe, and inadequate heater situation. I look forward to your immediate attention and resolution. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
