...however, guarantee you the insurance company is already trying to settle this. Landlords, HOA's, etc. are liable and can be sued. There probably won't be criminal negligence, chances are, Dump complied, although minimum, with New York City and State building codes.

It's only criminal if he doesn't comply, but that would never get past inspection and given the ok to sell or lease the apartment. The other way its criminal, he essentially uninstalls or neglects the safety measures...but again, unlikely. Large office buildings usually get inspected at regular intervals.

Dump will see an insurance rate hike...and bitch and moan about it.
