Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

My son lives in an apartment complex. The electronic walk-in gate to enter the complex is consistently non-operational. Instead of walking down the street to walk through the electronic gate where cars enter he hopped over the walk-in gate, as many residents do, and fell and broke his leg.

The fire engine company and ambulance that responded also could not enter the electronic walk-in gate with their special code, and stated they frequently cut fence hoppers loose from the fence and attend to injuries.

Does the apartment complex have any liability to pay my son's medical bills and/or pay him money if he cannot work due to the injury?

If notice of the defective gate has been provided to the complex and they are aware of the prior injuries yes they are.There will also be a question of comparative negligence if there was a safe way to enter that was not utilized
