Opinion
August 10, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (R. Goldberg, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The plaintiff's decedent sustained fatal injuries when he fell from a scaffolding which was being constructed as part of a building demolition project. The undisputed evidence demonstrated that neither the City of New York nor the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development owned the building in question. Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted summary judgment dismissing the plaintiff's claims against those defendants (see, Jones v. City of New York, 173 A.D.2d 682; Hauser v. State of New York, 147 A.D.2d 615).
Mangano, P. J., Copertino, Joy and Florio, JJ., concur.
