Re: heating ? Spinoff: is this letter ok?
Dear Ms...
I am writing in regards to the window and heat conditions at (address here).
The windows (describe situation)....
Furthermore, the heat (describe situation).
Please contact me at once to discuss the necessary repairs. I can be reached via phone or cell (list #s here). I'm sure you can understand the urgency of my request as it is quite cold outside and the apartment is frigid..
Sincerly...

Re: heating ? Spinoff: is this letter ok?
Yes, I'd mention the heater first.
I think she'd be more likrly to get it fixed, because there are laws about that.
I would also try & make it a little less conversational & more to the point. Maybe even use bullet points to list the things that are broken.
ETA--Dina's template is great, I'd just put the heater part first.

Re: heating ? Spinoff: is this letter ok?
I really liked Dina's format for the letter.
Also, I would mention the heater first. It is something that they can repair. As to some of your window complaints, your LL can claim its your duty to insulate them, but there is no way he can argue away his duty to fix the heater.

Re: heating ? Spinoff: is this letter ok?
The letter sounds better. I'd send it registered mail, return receipt requested. That way, you have proof of your complaint in writing and proof that she received it. It's always a good idea to cover your a$$ especially with landlord tenant issues.

Re: heating ? Spinoff: is this letter ok?
I agree. Very good letter, keep a copy and send it in a way you can confirm he received it.
ETS: I may change this sentence: Last year it would work when it wanted to, but most of the time it was ok, while this year it has only gone downhill very, very fast. It seems as though about 2 days ago was its last day.
to: The heater had some problems last winter, but two days ago it stopped working completely.
There is no need to explain any more than that.

Pretty much the format I was going to suggest. Be firm with them or you wont get help.

I agree with this edit. It's more direct and makes the problem seem more serious.

Re: heating ? Spinoff: is this letter ok?
sounds good to me... I hope she gets it fixed quickly!! I'm not a lawyer but isn't it against the law for a landlord not to provide heat
eta - found this on the social services website...
If you are a resident of an apartment, condominium, or co-op on Long Island and you find yourself without heat during the heating season, you can complain to each county's health department:
Nassau County: Call the Nassau County Department of Health at (516) 571-3679
Suffolk County: Call the Suffolk County Department of Health at (631) 853-6975 or (631) 852-2069 (in Brookhaven Township or on the East End).

Wasn't her name in one of the letters you posted? I'm guessing thats how she found out- she may have tenants who post here, or someone tracked her down.
