Engineer approval of lintel over garage
We have an engineer inspecting a potential failing lintel over a garage on a rental property we are purchasing. I'm awaiting the official report, but am hearing the engineer does not have concerns and does not recommend any action. I'm curious, either from anyone's experience or expertise, if there were a future structural issue related to this, would I be liable as the landlord? I would assume the liability would be held by the engineer since the engineer has reviewed and 'signed off'. Would love any perspective, thanks!
