Labor Law-Construction Law

PLAINTIFF FELL WHILE DOING ROUTINE REPAIR ON AN AIR CONDITIONER, NOT COVERED BY LABOR LAW 240(1).

The Second Department determined defendants’ summary judgment motion dismissing plaintiff’s Labor Law 240(1) cause of action was properly granted. Plaintiff was engaged in routine repair work:

The plaintiff allegedly was injured while performing work on the air conditioning system in a building … . He allegedly fell while climbing over an “I-beam” that was used to support the air conditioning system. He commenced this action to recover damages for personal injuries, alleging, inter alia, a violation of Labor Law § 240(1).

The defendants established, prima facie, that they were entitled to summary judgment dismissing the cause of action alleging a violation of Labor Law § 240(1) by showing that the plaintiff’s work did not constitute erection, demolition, repairing, altering, painting, cleaning, or pointing of a building or structure within the meaning of Labor Law § 240(1) … . The defendants established that the work constituted merely routine maintenance of the air conditioning system … . Tserpelis v Tamares Real Estate Holdings, Inc., 2017 NY Slip Op 01247, 2nd Dept 2-15-17
