Apartment hot tub light is loose and hanging out

An underwater hot tub light has come loose and is hanging out of the wall instead of being securely installed, which residents consider a definite electrical hazard. Despite reporting the issue multiple times over a period of weeks, property management has failed to address or fix it, leaving users stuck with an unsafe amenity.
