According to the complaint, Roldan was a tenant on the defendants' property at 3734 W. Leland Ave. in Chicago on Oct. 15, 2012, when he tripped on debris on a staircase.
He contends the defendants provided an unsafe stairway, permitted debris to be present on the stairs, failed to properly clean the stairs, failed to warn and failed to provide safe means of ingress and egress.
