damaged property after car crash?

A car crashed into my bf’s house on saturday. The pillar and railings on the boundary of the property are destroyed.
The pillar is lying in a heap, as is most of a wall that stops people from falling into the basement. The railings are just waiting to stab someone on the basement stairs.
The debris is blocking the only exit for two flats, so the fire escape is partly blocked.
How long does the landlord have to clean it up and rebuild?

The landlord will have to contact his insurance company to file a claim. Expect it to take a while.
This should all depend how long it takes for the insurance to come through,… if they had any insurance that is.. either the insurance of the car driver, or the house insurnce on the building.
Being that someone else crashed into the property the landlord is probably filing an insurance claim. I don’t know about the time limit but most insurance companies don’t take too long to fix damaged property.
Ex.
A tree fell on our house insurance company had someone out within the week to fix it because exposed structure and safety hazards are more of a liability.
Het hangt af – als een nooduitgang wordt belemmerd (niet zeker welke ' gedeeltelijk blocked' middelen – één van beide it' toegankelijk s zou of niet) dan dit ZO VLUG MOGELIJK moeten worden ontruimd. Als er om het even welke veiligheid verwante problemen (als spiked traliewerk of gevaar om te vallen) toen zijn zou de lokale raad & moeten bijwonen; maak de voetpadbrandkast. Schoonmaken & het herbouwen van isn' t een noodsituatie zolang de plaats veilig is.
This is not your landlord’s fault! The owner of the vehicle is liable for all of the damages and the car owner’s insurance adjuster has to inspect the property, assess the damage, etc. The landlord CANNOT do anything to the building until the insurance adjuster inspects the property, takes the photos, etc, and fulfills all of the legal obligations & legal rigamarole. Have the police finished their photographing and investigation? That has to be done, too!
If you have a problem, you have to go after the car’s owner and his/her insurance company.
Hij gaat moeten zich uit bewegen. De eigenaar can' t doet om het even wat alvorens de verzekeringsregelaar daar wordt. Maar dit is belangrijke wederopbouw, zal het BF uit de huur krijgen.
Contact the town/city office to find out what the ordinances are regarding this sort of situation. It may be that landlord has a limited time and must have repairs made for safety reasons even before he has an insurance settlement.
The landlord will contact his insures who will instruct approved contractors to carry out the most urgent works and then the less urgent works. The insures will claim against the car drivers insurance at their pace. The work time scale will not be dependant on this. Have you bf keep in contact with his landlord so access etc is available to the contractors. Hopefully by the time you read this, the area will have been made safe.
if doesn’t matter if he is waiting for insurance. he has to clean anything that is a safety issue or blockin entrances immediatly. getting paid is his problem, not yours. the fixing and cleaning is his responsibility. Even if someone one else caused it he still has to fix it in a timely matter and when it comes to things that are dangerous that means right away, no matter if he is waitng for someone to pay it
