My tenant's flower shop in Portland almost bankrupted me over a dead outlet

The inspector missed a code violation on the back wall wiring, their insurance denied the claim for $14K in spoiled inventory, and now I add my own electrician to every single lease walkthrough, have you ever had a tenant surprise you like that?

Wait, the insurance actually denied the claim over a dead outlet? That seems wild to me. I mean, a code violation is a code violation, and your inspector missed it, so how is that the tenant's fault? I would have fought that denial hard, because $14K in spoiled flowers is a lot of money for a small shop to eat.
