Class

http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#AdjacentPropertySafetyObservationWithoutClientRelationshipState
Definition
State in which a licensed professional engineer, while performing construction observation services for a client on one property, incidentally observes potential safety issues arising from work on an adjacent, separately owned property — where neither the engineer, the engineer's firm, nor the engineer's client has any direct professional, contractual, or legal relationship with the owner of the adjacent property — creating a tension between the engineer's paramount obligation to protect public safety, the bounded scope of the existing engagement, and the absence of any formal duty-of-care relationship with the affected party.
