Frances M. Sciolaro, Respondent v. Joseph J. Asch, Appellant, Impleaded With Another

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the landlord’s lease covenant to furnish elevator service creates a non‑delegable duty of reasonable care, that the landlord remains liable despite contracting with a third‑party operator, and that the lease was admissible evidence of this duty.
