DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly dismissed the plaintiffs' Labor Law § 241(6) cause of action (see, Thompson v. Ludovico, 246 A.D.2d 642, 643 ). Moreover, the Supreme Court did not err when it presented the jury with an interrogatory that asked them to find whether a ladder was immediately available to the injured plaintiff (see,McGrath v. Baranello Sons, 107 A.D.2d 675 ). The jury verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, Nicastro v. Park, 113 A.D.2d 129 ).
