LEASE TRANSFERRED RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF ENTIRE PREMISES TO TENANT, DEFENDANT OUT-OF-POSSESSION LANDLORD ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS PARKING LOT SLIP AND FALL CASE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined that defendant out-of-possession landlord’s motion for summary judgment in this parking lot slip and fall case was properly granted:

“An out-of-possession landlord is not liable for injuries that occur on its premises unless the landlord has retained control over the premises and has a duty imposed by statute or assumed by contract or course of conduct'” … . A landlord who has transferred possession and control generally is not liable for injuries caused by dangerous conditions on the property … .

In support of its motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, the defendant submitted a copy of the lease between it and Cold Spring Hills. The lease provided that the maintenance of the entire premises, including the parking lot, was the responsibility of Cold Spring Hills. The evidence submitted in support of the motion shows that the defendant was an out-of-possession landlord and that Cold Spring Hills performed the maintenance of the entire premises. Vicchiarelli v Cold Spring Hills Realty Co., LLC, 2018 NY Slip Op 05619, Second Dept 8-1-18
