OUT-OF-POSSESSION LANDLORD’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE PROPERLY DENIED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the defendant out-of-possession landlord’s motion for summary judgment in this slip and fall case was properly denied. Plaintiff slipped and fell on water which appeared to be coming from the bathroom door in the leased premises:

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 a course of conduct” … . Here, the plaintiff alleged the violation of a duty imposed by Administrative Code of the City of New York § 28-301.1, which provides that the owner of a building “shall be responsible at all times to maintain the building and its facilities and all other structures regulated by this code in a safe and code-compliant manner” … .. The defendant failed to meet its prima facie burden of demonstrating that it completely relinquished possession and control of the basement area of the building, such that it cannot be held liable under that Administrative Code provision for injuries caused by a defective condition therein … . Nieves v Pennsylvania, LLC, 2018 NY Slip Op 07134, Second Dept 10-24-18
