Ms. Medcalf parked her car in the street level parking lot and walked to the lobby doors. The lighting in the parking lot was dim. She picked up the intercom and called Ms. Skiades. Ms. Skiades's brother-in-law answered and tried to let Ms. Metcalf in using the electronic buzzer system. The system did not work, so Ms. Skiades indicated she would come down and open the door. As she traveled down to the lobby, Ms. Medcalf was attacked and injured by Kenneth Strickler.
Ms. Medcalf filed suit against Washington Heights Condominium Association and Professional Property Management Company, Inc., its managing agent.. Ms. Medcalf alleged that their failure to maintain the buzzer system was the cause of her assault and injuries. Discuss whether the Association and the management firm would have liability.
