NEW YORK, NY - Steven Wildstein, a New York City personal injury attorney, reminds landlords that snow or no snow, property owners owe their tenants safe conditions. Wildstein calls on landlords to be vigilant and heed their responsibility to keep properties hazard free. Regardless of weather or other conditions, all landlords must maintain clean, unobstructed common areas for their tenants or face legal action in the form of a premises liability lawsuit.
Landlords are required to exercise care to maintain a safe environment for tenants in all common areas, including sidewalks, parking lots, hallways and steps. If a landlord creates a hazardous environment, either through neglect or action, he or she may be held liable for any accidents that occur.
“We have been fortunate to have had such a mild winter that snow and ice on sidewalks have not been such a problem,” said Wildstein. “Of course, that does not preclude the need and requirement for landlords to keep their properties safe.”
Victims usually file a premises liability claim because a landlord created an unsafe situation, or because of the landlordÂ’s failure to make a repair, which creates a dangerous condition.
The attorneys at the Law Office of Steven Wildstein, P.C. have worked for decades defending the rights of those injured by another personÂ’s negligence. Attorneys Steven Wildstein and Michael Maiolica use their knowledge of complex New York City laws as well as experience with common insurance company tactics to help clients get help and obtain justice for their losses.
