Landlord Negligence

Is your landlord taking advantage of you?

NEW YORK LANDLORD NEGLIGENCE ATTORNEYS

Under New York Law, a property owner has an obligation to maintain his premises in a safe condition. Unfortunately, many landlords do not live up to this obligation. Peña & Kahn, PLLC has successfully represented countless accident victims who were injured as a result of broken stairs, leaky ceilings, dirty hallways faulty windows, and uneven walkways.

EXPERIENCED LANDLORD NEGLIGENCE LAWYERS

Peña & Kahn represent tenants in actions against landlords claiming that injuries occurred because:

The building was not secure - If you are the victim of an assault in a building where the landlord failed to provide adequate security or functioning locks that could have prevented the assault, New York holds the landlord responsible. Our law firm has had extensive experience and has achieved great success in suing landlords for failing to provide adequate security.

The landlord did not properly maintain the property. Sidewalks were not shoveled or salted. Broken windows were not replaced.

The landlord permitted a dangerous environment, by not addressing issues involving toxic substances such as solvents, gasoline, mold, and dust. This applies to asbestos and lead-based paint.

FIRE SAFETY
The law also imposes upon property owners the responsibility for fire safety. We represent victims of building fires who have suffered burn injuries and smoke inhalation. Although the fire itself may be accidental, a landlord must still comply with strict fire safety requirements to prevent fires from spreading and ensure that occupants are able to exit safely.
