施工会社元会長を在宅起訴　アパート階段崩落、業過致死罪で（共同通信） - Yahoo!ニュース

This page reports on a fatal accident at an apartment in Hachioji, Tokyo in 2021, where a female resident fell from a collapsed external staircase. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office indicted the former chairman of construction company "Noritake Tochi" (age 78) on charges of professional negligence resulting in death. The charges stem from neglecting wood rot on the landing and failing to apply waterproofing measures. Additionally, despite receiving previous repair requests for similar waterproofing issues in other buildings, the company allegedly failed to inform the apartment owner of potential defects.
