Found out later on, that the blue card, while it's technically a fail, is mostly due to an incomplete inspection, and another one covering safeties is due within 3 months of issue. If these somehow pass, then there's something wrong with the State. This is the same state that passed a set a 4-year-old dropped from and died.
@an65001 SIMON owns the building, so if Sears doesn't do the job, it's ultimately up to them to fix it. Sears is a tenant, and in Landlord/Tenant law, the Landlord is ususally responsible, unless it's neglect on the tenant's behalf, then the tenant has to fix them. Sears probably dropped the ball, but SIMON should've stepped in.
I would bet that Sears has a land lease & therefore the mall does not own the building & has zero responsibility or liability. for the interior of Sears.
@cfostercvm In most cases, the landlords are ultimately responsible for everything. HOWEVER, if the tennant neglects or breaks something, it's THEIR problem. This is a basic Landlord/Tennant law. Depending on the lease, it could go either way, but in general, SIMON owns the building, Sears rents (leases), so SIMON is likely responsible. Then again, Sears was there before the mall, so who knows about true ownership? I'd still wager SIMON.
If they failed inspection why are they not shut down and fixed?

Glad I wasnt there!
Sears maintains this, not SIMON. The only thing SIMON "maintains" is the mall.

HAARP?
I guess after electric chairs, escalators to throw people down them was his next method of population control. :)
