QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER DEFENDANTS HAD NOTICE OF CRACKED CONCRETE SLAB WHICH COLLAPSED, PLAINTIFF DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY INDUSTRIAL CODE VIOLATION, LABOR LAW 241 (6) CAUSE OF ACTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED.

The Second Department determined, re: plaintiff’s common law negligence cause of action, there was a question of fact whether defendants had constructive notice of a cracking concrete slap which collapsed. However plaintiff’s Labor Law 241 (6) cause of action should have been dismissed because no applicable provision of the Industrial Code was identified by the plaintiff:

… [T]he defendants submitted, inter alia, the deposition testimony of the plaintiff, in which he stated that for up to 10 days prior to the accident, he observed that the place where the concrete eventually collapsed had “lines . . . indicating the breaking points.” Thus, by their own submissions, the defendants raised an issue of fact as to whether the allegedly dangerous condition was visible and apparent and existed for a sufficient length of time prior to the plaintiff’s fall to permit them to discover and remedy it … . …

In order to establish a Labor Law § 241(6) claim, a plaintiff must allege a violation of a specific and applicable provision of the Industrial Code … . Here, although the plaintiff’s bill of particulars alleged a violation of Labor Law § 241(6), it failed to identify any specific provision of the Industrial Code that the defendants allegedly violated … . Furthermore, in opposition to summary judgment, the plaintiff failed to allege a violation of any specific provision of the Industrial Code, and did not address the issue … . Grabowski v Board of Mgrs. of Avonova Condominium, 2017 NY Slip Op 01185, 2nd Dept 2-15-17
