Be especially diligent about maintaining and repairing elevators in your building. Accidents caused by malfunctioning elevators may expose you to greater liability than typical accidents on your property. That's because the “reasonableness” standard doesn't apply; rather, a heightened standard applies. This means that you must frequently check elevators on your property for problems and repair them immediately. You can be held liable for elevator defects that you knew or should have known about.
