Legal Question in Business Law in New York
help... loss of business
Our business is on the first floor of
an apartment building. About a
month ago there was a gas leak, so
the building shut down the gas
completely. Being that we're a
prepared fried food business, we're
losing tremendous business with no
gas, no stove. They said we'll have to
wait another 2 months or hire a
private contractor, and have our gas
fixed out of our own pocket. Please
help, i feel helpless and have no idea
what to do?

This is a question that is answered only in your lease agreement and in the local practice in your county.
Show the lease to your attorney and explain the problem; see what s/he can do to help. If you don't have an attorney, you need one; ask the NYState Bar Association (www.nysba.org) or your local county bar association for a referral.

You may wish to review your commercial lease to see what if anything it says about incidents such as this. You may wish to speak with an attorney, so it can be determined what rights you have and the best way to proceed. Please feel free to contact my office if we may be of any assistance.
Re: help... loss of business
You do have some options here, and I would recommend discussing them in detail with an attorney. Initially, I presume you have a written lease for these premises. That document should be fully reviewed to see if this problem is addressed. Our firm handles commercial matters such as this and I would be happy to speak with you further about your situation and what can be done. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience should you wish to discuss this further.
