The trial court erred by granting summary judgment in this negligence and qualified-nuisance case. Plaintiff tripped over a board that was keeping a door from shutting at the YMCA. The board was placed there by an employee of University Hospitals, who worked at the physical therapy center adjacent to the YMCA. University Hospitals owed plaintiff a duty, and there are genuine issues of material fact regarding whether University Hospitals breached that duty and whether plaintiff was comparatively negligent.
