Subject: Request for Adequate Outdoor Garbage Receptacles — Bronx, New York Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. As a tenant of [Address], I am writing to bring an important matter to your attention regarding the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles at our property. I kindly request your immediate attention and action to address this issue. Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation for the efforts you put into maintaining the dwelling and ensuring our comfort. However, the absence of adequate outdoor garbage receptacles poses several problems, both for the residents and the property itself. It is crucial to promptly resolve this matter to uphold cleanliness, hygiene, and the overall value of our community. Living in a congested area like Bronx, New York, where proper waste management is of utmost importance, it becomes crucial to have appropriate outdoor garbage receptacles. Unfortunately, the current provision in our building is inadequate to handle the volume of rubbish generated by the residents, leading to unsightly trash overflow in common areas such as hallways, stairwells, and near the entrance. Due to these insufficiencies, we are facing the following issues: 1. Sanitation and Hygiene: The accumulation of garbage in inappropriate areas gives rise to foul odors, attracting pests and vermin. This creates an unhygienic environment for us and jeopardizes our health and well-being. 2. Aesthetics and Property Value: Overflowing garbage not only creates an unappealing sight but also diminishes the overall appearance of our property. This can negatively impact the property's value and potential rental prospects. Considering the aforementioned challenges, I kindly request you to address this matter urgently by providing sufficient outdoor garbage receptacles. Here are a few suggested options that could potentially meet our needs: 1. Large Commercial Bins: Installing multiple large bins strategically across the property can accommodate the volume of trash generated daily. These bins should ideally possess latch or lock mechanisms to prevent scavenging or illegal dumping. 2. Individual Apartment Bins: Providing each household a designated garbage bin, suitably sized for their needs, would encourage responsible waste disposal and mitigate overflow in the common areas. 3. Regular Garbage Pickup Schedule: Along with the provision of appropriate garbage receptacles, a consistent garbage pickup schedule should be established, ensuring prompt removal of waste and preventing any inconvenience or sanitation issues. Implementing any of the above solutions would significantly improve the overall living conditions and cleanliness for all residents while preserving the value of our property. I appreciate your understanding and swift action to rectify this matter. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe] acknowledging the receipt of this letter and providing an outline of the steps you will take to address our concerns. Furthermore, I believe that through your proactive response, we can maintain a harmonious living environment, benefiting all parties involved. Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation. I look forward to a positive resolution to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Apartment Number] [Contact Information]
