Closter, New Jersey lawyer Amy Goldenberg has worked with several notable legal firms, including Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. and Winget, Spadafora & Schwartzberg, LLP. Since April 2019, attorney Amy Goldenberg has represented clients on behalf of Malapero, Prisco &Klauber, a firm with offices in NewYork and New Jersey. She focuses on defending property owners who are being prosecuted based on premises liability laws.

Property owners that do not keep their buildings in safe condition can be found liable for any personal harm that occurs on their premises. Landlords, property owners, and other responsible parties must perform the following duties to minimize their exposure to premise liabilities:

1. Inclement Weather – When the conditions outside the building become dangerous due to ice or snow, property managers must take steps to make the area accessible by removing the snow promptly. However, there is no obligation to remove the snow as it accumulates, so owners may not be found liable for pedestrians who injure themselves amid a heavy storm.

2. Hazard Warnings – Property owners must report any significant hazards that visitors may encounter on their premises. This can include alerting visitors about ongoing repair work, faulty stairs, or slippery surfaces using clear signage.

3. Building Maintenance – New York law holds property owners liable for injuries caused by damages they may not have known about but would have been discovered through reasonable upkeep. For this reason, property owners should conduct routine site inspections, even if they are not required by law.
