How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that “[an] insistence that [the plaintiff must] show the previous occurrence of a particular type of crime ... [is] at odds with [the District of Columbia’s] multi-factored, anti-talismanic approach to foreseeability”
• vacant floors, crime and sex in the building, aggressive intruders, and warnings about safety from tenants to landlord made rape foreseeable
• “Once it is established that duties, generally, are owed to one party ... by another ... the foreseeability of the risk at issue in a particular case might seem more applicable to determining whether the standard of care has been breached”
