LEASE TERMS ALLOWED JURY TO BE INSTRUCTED ON TENANT’S POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR A SIDEWALK SLIP AND FALL.

The Second Department determined the jury was properly instructed to consider a tenant’s liability for a sidewalk slip and fall based upon the terms of the lease:

… [T]he Supreme Court properly submitted the issue of the tenant’s negligence to the jury. “Administrative Code of the City of New York § 7-210 imposes a nondelegable duty on a property owner to maintain and repair the sidewalk abutting its property” … . Generally, the “provisions of a lease obligating a tenant to repair the sidewalk do not impose on the tenant a duty to a third party, such as the plaintiff” … . However, where a lease agreement is “so comprehensive and exclusive as to sidewalk maintenance as to entirely displace the landowner’s duty to maintain the sidewalk,” the tenant may be liable to a third party … . Here, the owner demonstrated that a rider to the subject lease requiring the tenant to, at its own cost and expense, keep and maintain the sidewalk “in thorough repair and good order,” was so comprehensive and exclusive as to entirely displace the owner’s duty to maintain the sidewalk … . Paperman v 2281 86th St. Corp., 2016 NY Slip Op 05747, 2nd Dept 8-10-16
