March 30, 199585 N.Y.2d 333

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the homeowner exemption in Labor Law § 241 applies to § 241‑a and that the owner, who was converting a three‑family building to a two‑family dwelling, qualifies for the exemption. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded the case for further proceedings.
