Landlord liable for injury to tenant’s workman

ALBANY, N.Y. - New York’s highest court ruled Thursday that a Manhattan high-rise owner is liable for injuries to a tenant’s workman, even though the worker was hired without the landlord’s consent in violation of the lease.

The 5-2 court majority concluded that allowing a lease provision to insulate the owner would “eviscerate the strict liability protection” state Labor Law provides workers.

“Our precedents make clear that so long as a violation of the statute proximately results in injury, the owner’s lack of notice or control over the work is not conclusive _ this is precisely what is meant by absolute or strict liability in this context,” Judge Victoria Graffeo wrote. Chief Judge Judith Kaye and Judges Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick, Eugene Pigott and Theodore Jones concurred.
