Property owners are legally responsible to secure their premises
Crime and violence may not be the worries they once were in New York City, but they are still major issues. Property owners and managers have a duty of care to protect tenants and other parties using their property from harm. If they fail to provide such security — perhaps by not providing a buzzer or key code for entry, not repairing locks or not maintaining sufficient lighting in walkways, staircases and parking lots at night — victims may be entitled to compensation. An experienced New York City personal injury attorney at Segan, Nemerov, Singer & Sonin P.C. can advise you of your rights if you have been injured because of such negligence.
