Inadequate Property Maintenance Can Lead To Serious Injuries

Across the state of Pennsylvania, property owners have a legal obligation to make sure their land and buildings are safe for all visitors, customers as well as tenants and others.

Inadequate Property Maintenance Explained in Brief

Inadequate property maintenance refers to a property owner’s failure to keep their property in a safe condition. This can involve ignoring serious issues, including:

1. Neglected Repairs – Examples include failing to fix broken steps, old or damaged railings, or damaged flooring and sidewalks can all cause accidents.
2. Poor Lighting - Insufficient lighting in parking lots, stairwells, or hallways can lead to accidents, especially at night.
3. Creating Slip and Fall Hazards - Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or trash or other debris left in walkways can result in slip and fall accidents.
4. Poor Snow and Ice Removal - Property owners must ensure that walkways and driveways are cleared of snow and ice to prevent slips and falls during winter.
5. Unsafe Equipment - Gym equipment, playground equipment and toys, or other facilities must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent injuries.
