Holding The court affirmed summary judgment on the Labor Law § 241(6) claim but reversed the summary judgment on the Labor Law § 240(1) claim. The reversal was based on the defendant’s ability to raise an issue of fact regarding whether the staircase was a permanent appurtenance and the sole means of access to the work area.
The court’s words
Plaintiff failed to establish that the staircase was the sole means of access because he testified that he could have gone up one flight of stairs and then taken the hoist down
