Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert D. Kalish, J.), entered October 21, 2019, which, to the extent appealed from, denied defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the Labor Law §§ 240(1) and 241(6) claims, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The motion court correctly determined that plaintiff's inconsistent statements about how he was injured do not compel dismissal of his Labor Law §§ 240(1) and 241(6) claims. Rather they present issues of fact to be resolved by a jury according to their credibility determinations (see e.g. Buckley v. J.A. Jones/GMO, 38 A.D.3d 461, 832 N.Y.S.2d 560 [1st Dept. 2007] ; Maldonado v. Townsend Ave. Enters., Ltd. Partnership, 294 A.D.2d 207, 741 N.Y.S.2d 696 [1st Dept. 2002] ).
