QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER STOCKING SHELVES WAS PART OF A LARGER RENOVATION PROJECT AND THEREFORE A COVERED ACTIVITY UNDER LABOR LAW 240 (1) (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined that defendant’s motion for summary judgment in this Labor Law 240 (1) action should have been denied. Plaintiff was stocking shelves when he fell 20 feet. There was a question of fact whether stocking shelves was part of the larger renovation project and therefore covered under Labor Law 240 (1):

… [T]he warehouse defendants’ submissions failed to demonstrate, as a matter of law, that the plaintiff’s activity in stocking shelves was not performed as part of the larger renovation project that he had been hired to complete on the premises, including assembly of the shelving structures and other tasks attendant to preparing the warehouse to receive … stock merchandise … . Bonilla-Reyes v Ribellino, 2019 NY Slip Op 01193, Second Dept 2-20-19
