New York Court of Appeals

Deborah Buchholz v. Trump 767 Fifth Avenue…

June 9, 20055 N.Y.3d 1

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s dismissal, holding that NYC Administrative Code §27-651 does not apply to the exterior bay‑window at issue, that the plaintiff’s expert testimony was conclusory and insufficient to create a genuine issue of fact on negligence, and that the defendant owed no duty because the accident was not foreseeable and was superseded by a third‑party act.
