Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters Except as described below, the Company is not presently involved in any material litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business. However, the Company is involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which the Company believes, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account existing reserves, will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2019, the Company finalized a settlement with the SEC with respect to matters initially disclosed on February 8, 2016 relating to a review conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors into certain accounting matters and the related conduct of certain former Company executives. Also as previously disclosed, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has indicated that it is no longer pursuing actions relating to these matters with respect to the Company’s former employees. In July 2021, the SEC dismissed its pending civil action against two former employees relating to these matters and indicated that it would not seek further sanctions against two other former employees who had previously consented to judgments. The Company believes that no additional governmental proceedings relating to these matters will be brought against the Company. Environmental Matters Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be or become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in the Company’s property or disposed of by the Company or its tenants, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). The Company does not believe that any resulting liability from such matters will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not incur any material governmental fines resulting from environmental matters.
