In a rented commercial property the tenant (a service business to the public) did not have any liability insurance. An injury occurred in this store. Lawyer for the injured party stated that the owner of the property is not responsible for the defect in the property, because there was no "notice" to him that there was a defect, and that in NYC renters of commercial property do not have to have liability insurance.(?) I don't understand why the owner of the property would not be held responsible? It is still his property. The renter just took off and closed up everything, just disappeared.
