Who pays for damages if kitchen cabinets fall off the wall

Question

I live in a rent stabilized building. The Kitchen cabinets fell off the wall and all glassware broke. Should the building owner pay for damages?

Answer 1

He should, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Answer 2

Do you have renters insurance? The building has insurance!

Your building superndt may help you more than the owners.

Otherwise File a complaint and claim with the owner and do it writing.

Answer 3

Your local building inspector might be able to do something for you or at least steer you in the right direction.

Answer 4

~~This is definitley from improper installatiion or improprer upkeep. The owner should be responsible. If the building is less than 10 years the contractor who installed them may be liable. This is all difinitely not your responsibility!~~
