ALTHOUGH PLAINTIFF WAS NOT AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE, HE WAS INJURED IN A TEMPORARY FACILITY DOING WORK FOR THE CONSTRUCTION SITE, DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED.

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, over a dissent, determined defendants’ motion for summary judgment in this Labor Law 241 (6) action should not have been granted on the ground plaintiff was not injured on a construction site. Plaintiff was not where the construction was being done, but was on a “temporary facility” (Bronx Yard) preparing rebar for the construction site:

Collavino [superstructure concrete contractor], subcontracted by Lend Lease [property owner], which was hired by 56 Leonard [construction manager], was responsible for furnishing “[a]ll temporary Project site facilities” and agreed “to place its Temporary Facilities in locations designated by Owner or Construction Manager.” Additionally, the Temporary License for the Bronx Yard was secured solely by Collavino, and for the purpose of completing work to be “forwarded directly to a construction site in Manhattan.”  Gerrish v 56 Leonard LLC, 2017 NY Slip Op 01262, 1st Dept 2-16-17
