Lisa Goldstein reserved space for a wedding in a building owned by Orensanz Events, LLC, in New

Question:

Lisa Goldstein reserved space for a wedding in a building owned by Orensanz Events, LLC, in New York City. The rental agreement provided that on cancellation of the event “for any reason beyond” Orensanz’s control, the client’s sole remedy was another date for the event or a refund. Shortly before the wedding, the New York City Department of Buildings found Orensanz’s building to be structurally unstable and ordered it vacated. Orensanz closed the building and told Goldstein to find another venue. Goldstein filed a lawsuit in a New York state court against Orensanz for breach of contract, arguing that the city’s order had been for a cause within the defendant’s control. Was the commercial building’s structural issue a foreseeable difficulty, thus making Goldstein’s claim valid? Is the owner of a commercial building ethically obligated to keep it structurally sound? Explain your answers.
