Cotter v. Structure Tone, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 17, 1998
247 A.D.2d 275 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

February 17, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Lowe, III, J.).


Since the deposition testimony of defendant-appellant's account executive stated that defendant-appellant's superintendent had direct dealings with the subcontractors at the work site, an issue of fact exists as to whether defendant-appellant, as the general contractor, had supervisory control over its subcontractors and thus could be held liable for a subcontractor's allegedly negligent actions (see, Hunter v. BTC Block 17/18, 210 A.D.2d 968).

Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Rubin, Mazzarelli and Andrias, JJ.
