Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 1, 1996
229 A.D.2d 389 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

July 1, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Golar, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the parties' contentions on appeal there are issues of fact regarding whether the defendant owed a duty to the infant plaintiff and the plaintiff's decedent to provide locking entranceways to the building in which they lived, and whether the failure to properly secure the building was a proximate cause of injuries of the infant plaintiff and the death of the plaintiff's decedent ( see, Miller v. State of New York, 62 N.Y.2d 506; Nallan v. Helmsley-Spear, Inc., 50 N.Y.2d 507; Gill v. New York City Hous. Auth., 130 A.D.2d 256; Iannelli v. Powers, 114 A.D.2d 157; Santiago v. New York City Hous. Auth., 101 A.D.2d 735). Sullivan, J.P., Santucci, Joy and Hart, JJ., concur.
