Dayton Ohio Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure of Landlord to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety or Resulting in Untenantable Condition — Demand for Remedy Subject: Urgent Notice — Demand for RemediaActionio— - Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to some alarming concerns that have recently surfaced related to the state of the [property address]. As a concerned tenant, I feel obliged to notify you of the numerous violations observed, which are in clear violation of the Dayton building codes and pose serious risks to our health, safety, and overall well-being. Primarily, it has come to my attention that the following building code violations have been neglected, leading to a potentially hazardous living environment: 1. Mold Infestation: Upon inspection by a licensed professional, it has been confirmed that extensive mold growth is present throughout the property, particularly in the bathroom and basement areas. This poses severe health risks and violates building codes mandating proper ventilation and moisture control. 2. Plumbing Deficiencies: The building's plumbing system is in dire need of attention. Frequent leaks, stagnant water, and drainage issues have created an unsanitary condition, further compromising our health and violating building codes by failing to provide functional plumbing facilities. 3. Electrical Hazards: Numerous electrical outlets have been found faulty, displaying signs of exposed wiring, loose connections, and outdated fixtures. This poses a significant risk of electrical shock or fire, and the Dayton building codes demand immediate action to ensure safe and compliant electrical systems. 4. Inadequate Heating and Cooling: The heating and cooling systems within the premises are either malfunctioning or insufficient to provide adequate temperature control as outlined in the building codes. This compromises our well-being, particularly during extreme weather conditions. 5. Structural Integrity: Several areas of the building exhibit signs of deterioration, such as cracked walls, loose floorboards, and compromised ceilings. Not only does this impact the overall livability but also raises concerns about the structural safety and compliance with building codes. As a tenant, I have been patient and diligent in reporting these issues to your attention, but unfortunately, no substantial effort has been made to address these critical concerns. Therefore, I am left with no choice but to demand immediate remedial action to rectify these violations and restore a safe and habitable living space as required by the Dayton building codes. I request that you promptly address the aforementioned issues within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter. Failure to do so will leave me with no alternative but to consider legal actions available to me under the Ohio Revised Code, including reporting these violations to the appropriate authorities, seeking rental cost abatement, and potential termination of the lease agreement. I trust that you value the safety and well-being of your tenants and will take swift and decisive action to rectify these violations. I expect to receive written confirmation outlining the proposed remedial measures and timeline for completion within the specified time frame. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and maintaining a positive landlord-tenant relationship moving forward.
