Finally, the defendants claim that the court improperly determined that JC Corporation owed the plaintiff a nondelegable duty to keep the premises safe and, consequently, held that JC Corporation was vicariously hable for Interstate’s gross neghgence. The defendants assert that, because the work performed by Interstate required that Interstate possess a special license, JC Corporation had a duty to delegate the work to Interstate. Furthermore, the defendants contend that extending the nondelegable duty doctrine to benefit the plaintiff is unwarranted, given that the plaintiff was not an invitee and was not present on the property at the time of the fire. In response, the plaintiff argues that, although JC Corporation was required by law to delegate the performance of this work, its lease with the plaintiff imposed upon it the duty to exercise ordinary care to protect the plaintiffs interests in the property. We agree with the plaintiff.
