Opinion
(1465) CA 01-01043.
November 9, 2001.
(Appeals from Order of Supreme Court, Erie County, Fallon, J. — Summary Judgment.)
PRESENT: PINE, J.P., HAYES, HURLBUTT, KEHOE AND LAWTON, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum:
Supreme Court properly denied those parts of the motion of defendants Ciminelli-Cowper Co., Inc. (Ciminelli-Cowper) and Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital (Hospital) and the cross motion of defendant John W. Danforth Company (Danforth) seeking summary judgment dismissing the common-law negligence and Labor Law § 200 claims against Ciminelli-Cowper and Danforth. Those defendants failed to establish as a matter of law that they did not supervise, direct, or control the worksite and, in any event, plaintiffs raised a triable question of fact on that issue ( see, Ross v. Curtis-Palmer Hydro-Elec. Co., 81 N.Y.2d 494, 506). Because plaintiffs alleged a violation of a regulation mandating compliance with concrete specifications, the court properly denied defendants' motion and cross motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of the Labor Law § 241 (6) cause of action ( see, Ross v. Curtis-Palmer Hydro-Elec. Co., supra, at 501-505). Finally, the court properly denied the motions of Ciminelli-Cowper and the Hospital and third-party defendant Buffalo Wholesale Supply Company, Inc., d/b/a Niagara Insulations Inc., and the cross motion of Danforth seeking a conditional order of common-law indemnification. An issue of fact exists whether those parties are responsible for the accident ( see, Rissel v. Nornew Energy Supply, 281 A.D.2d 880, 881; Colyer v. K Mart Corp., 273 A.D.2d 809, 809-810). We have considered the remaining contentions of the parties and conclude that they lack merit.
