I fell because of a defective sidewalk in front of a two-family residence which is owner occupied. The house has a store on the ground floor used by a business. Who is legally responsible for the negligent condition?

A residential building that has a commercial enterprise such as a store operating within the structure is considered a mixed-use building. In such a case, the suit should be brought against the owner of the building who is responsible for the proper maintenance of the abutting sidewalk.
