Uncovered Baseboard Radiator May Constitute an Unsafe Condition Created by Landlord

The First Department determined there were questions of fact about whether the landlord assumed a duty to cover a baseboard heating unit, whether the landlord created an unsafe condition by removing the baseboard heating unit’s cover, and whether the uncovered unit needed repairs or was defective.  The infant plaintiff, who suffers from mental retardation and cerebral palsy, was burned when her face and hand was in contact with an uncovered baseboard radiator for an unknown period of time.  Nina W v NDI King Ltd Partnership, 2013 NY Slip Op 08202, 1st Dept 12-10-13
