[ ] The date the tenant's notification of needed repairs was made in writing: the landlord shall maintain in good and safe working order and promptly repair the facilities and appliances supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord once notified in writing by the tenant (42-42(a)(4), except in emergency situations), and shall replace or repair the smoke alarms within 15 days of receipt of notification in writing (42-42(a)(5)).
[ ] Whether the condition is on the imminently dangerous condition list of 42-42(a)(8), such as a lack of operable heating facilities capable of heating living areas to 65 degrees Fahrenheit when it is 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside from November 1 through March 31.
