I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue within the [Apartment Number/Unit], at [Apartment/Building Address]. It has come to my attention that there are serious safety concerns regarding the lighting fixtures and wiring in my unit. Hence, I request your immediate attention and action to rectify these potentially hazardous conditions. I have noticed several instances of unsafe or broken lights within my apartment. Failure to address this issue in a timely manner not only poses a threat to my safety but also puts you at risk of legal liabilities. It is essential to ensure the premises are maintained in accordance with local building codes, including proper lighting, electrical wiring, and overall safety. Specifically, the following problems require immediate attention: 1. Broken/Non-functioning Lights: Several light fixtures throughout the unit are not working properly. This not only hinders proper illumination but also creates an environment that increases the risk of accidents, especially during the nighttime hours. 2. Flickering Lights: Many of the functioning lights within the unit have started to flicker intermittently, indicating a possible electrical wiring issue. Such irregularities may have severe consequences, including potential fires or damage to electronic devices. 3. Electrical Surges: I have noticed various instances of unexpected flickering or sudden brightness in lights, suggesting internal electrical surges. This may result in electrical appliances malfunctioning or even causing electrical shocks. 4. Sagging Wiring: In some areas, I have observed wiring that appears damaged or sagging. This is not only unsightly but can also lead to electrical hazards such as electrocution or short circuits. Given these safety concerns, I kindly request prompt repairs to be carried out by a certified electrician. I believe it is in both our interests to ensure the safety and comfort of the tenants, maintaining the property's integrity. As provided by the Suffolk County Housing Code and the terms of our lease agreement, it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure the proper functioning of all electrical systems within the rental unit. To avoid any potential accidents, damages, or legal disputes, I kindly urge you to commence the necessary repairs within seven (7) days of receiving this letter. I kindly request that you inform me of the specific dates and times when the repairs will be conducted, so I can make necessary arrangements to grant access to the unit. In the event that repairs are not promptly addressed and completed within the stipulated timeframe, I may be forced to pursue legal remedies available to me as a tenant, as well as reporting this matter to the appropriate local housing authorities. My utmost priority is to ensure a safe and habitable living environment. I trust this matter will be given the seriousness and urgency it warrants, and I look forward to a prompt resolution. Please feel free to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address] to discuss the repair schedule or any other concerns. Thank you for your immediate attention. Sincerely, [Your Name]
