Liability that arises from not maintaining a building is referred to as

premises liability

Explanation: The person who owns the premises has a duty to keep from creating nonobvious dangers.

Premises liability arises from improperly maintaining the healthcare premises—a building, such as a medical office, hospital, and so on. The issue is the extent of the duty the party who maintains the premises owes, and it often depends on whether the injured party is: a trespasser, someone who doesn’t have permission to enter the premises; a licensee, someone who has legal authority to enter the premises; or an invitee, someone invited to enter the premises. A licensee has implied—unstated, but real—permission to be on the premises. PF
