Property Defects and Code Violations
The New York State Building Code governs residential property, commercial premises and places of public assembly. It specifies everything from the height of individual steps to the type of handrail required. It mandates a safe means of ingress/egress and adequate lighting of stairwells, walkways and parking areas.
Hacker Murphy applies 20 years of experience in personal injury litigation to your premises liability claim. We often consult with engineers, architects and other professionals to prove that construction defects, code violations or negligent upkeep led to your slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident:
- Broken or missing handrail
- Broken railings on decks or balconies
- Broken steps, torn rugs or slippery stairs
- Unlawful steepness or uneven tread depth/riser height
- Broken or insufficient lights in stairwells and entryways
- Dark parking lots or parking ramps
- Potholes or sidewalk defects
- Snow or ice obscured by bad lighting
