This is an action to recover damages for personal injuries allegedly sustained by a
construction worker on October 11, 2019, when, while working at a construction site located at
600 Broadway Avenue, New York, New York (the, "premises"), he fell from a temporary
platform that shifted after being struck by an object.
Defendant/third-party plaintiff 600 Broadway Partners LLC ("Broadway") and MJM
Associates Construction LLC ("MJM") (together, "defendants") now move, pursuant to CPLR
3212, for summary judgment dismissing the common law negligence and Labor Law§§ 200 and
241(6) claims against them and for summary judgment in favor of MJM on its third-party
contractual indemnification and breach of contract for the failure to procure insurance claims
against third-party defendant KJE Construction Services Inc. ("KJE"). 1
On the day of the accident, Broadway owned the premises. Broadway hired MJM as the
general contractor for a project at the premises that entailed, inter alia, the demolition of the
interior of the premises (the, "project"). MJM hired KJE to perform the interior demolition
work. Plaintiff Henderson Buitrago ("plaintiff') was employed by KJE. 2

[* 1] 1 of 9
INDEX NO. 158678/2020
NYSCEF DOC. NO. 91 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 04/10/2025
Plaintiff testified that on the day of the accident, he was working at the premises. He was
unaware of who employed him, though later he learned it was KJE (NYSCEF Doc. No. 45 at 46,
plaintiff's ebt). His supervisors were "Armando" (id. at 38) and "Narcio" (id. at 46) (Narcio was
later identified as "Marcio" by KJE's owner). 3 Marcio was a KJE employee (id. at 46). Plaintiff
was paid by KJE (id. at 46). He was unfamiliar with Broadway and/or MJM.
Plaintiffs work included demolition, including removal of "the floors, the walls, the
ceilings" (id. at 49). On the day of the accident, plaintiff and a coworker were assigned to "the
third floor" of the premises (id. at 57). They were tasked by Marcio to "take down walls" (id. at
58) and remove "the rafters" (id. at 59). The rafters were "several layers of metal sheet" that
"were a part of the roof' (id. at 61).
On the day of the accident, Marcio directed plaintiff to climb a 12-foot-tall ladder to
reach an "OSHA plank" (the, "plank") (id. at 62) that was placed across joists that were
approximately 12 feet above the floor (id. at 63). The joists were 16 inches apart (id. at 73). The
plank was not secured to the joists (id. at 74). To remove the rafters, plaintiff would climb the
ladder, stand on the plank and remove screws connecting the metal sheets of the rafters to the
roof (id. at 64). Plaintiff would then "hit the rafters with a big hammer" to loosen it (id. at 69).
Once loosened, he would then lower it to the floor below with the assistance of his coworker at
the base of the ladder (id. at 69).
Prior to the accident, plaintiff and his coworker successfully removed eleven ( 11) rafters.
While removing the twelfth (12 th ) rafter, he "hit [the rafter] once or twice, and immediately, the
rafter fell and hit the OSHA plank, making it slide to the right" (id. at 72). This made plaintiff
"lose [his] balance" causing him to "f[a]ll between the joist[s]" down to the floor below (id.at
72). The plank then fell and hit plaintiffs legs (id. at 72). Plaintiffs coworker, "Carlos."
witnessed the accident (NYSCEF Doc. No. 46 at 15,plaintiff's second ebt).
Milton Sonne berg testified that on the day of the accident, he was employed by non-party
ACHS Management Corp. ("ACHS"), a real estate management company. ACHS manages the
premises. He confirmed that Broadway was the owner of the premises (NYSCEF Doc. No. 47 at
9-10, Sonne berg ebt). He confirmed that Broadway hired MJM as the "general contractor that
was performing work" at the premises (id. at 12). He did not know who hired subcontractors.
He was unfamiliar with KJE (id. at 36). He was unaware of the contents of any contracts
between Broadway and MJM, or MJM and any subcontractors (id. at 19-20).
Jorman Rocha testified that on the day of the accident, he was an estimator for MJM. His
duties included "collecting bids ... bid leveling [and] scope of work leveling" (NYSCEF Doc.
No. 48 at 7, Rocha ebt). He conducted the estimate for the project. He was not involved in
preparing the contract for the project (id. at 14). Rocha also testified that he was not involved in
the project itself, though at the beginning of the project, he would visit the premises to view the
progress. If he saw an unsafe condition, he had the authority to stop work (id. at 79), but he
could not direct any worker on how to perform their work (id. at 80). Rocha testified that MJM
was hired as a construction manager. He acknowledged that MJM was also the general

For clarity, herein, the court will refer to "Narcio" as "Marcio."

contractor for the project (id. at 17). MJM's work on the project included the interior demolition
of the first three floors of the premises, as well as the cellar and subcellar (id. at 13). MJM hired
KJE to perform the demolition. At the time of the accident, KJE was the only subcontractor on
site (id. at 24). Rocha learned of the accident shortly after it happened, when he received a
telephone call informing him that there was "an incident on site and 9-1-1 was called" (id. at 21 ).
He did not fill out an accident report, though he was aware that there was an accident report.
Rocha was shown a two-page document which he identified as the accident report. He did not
know if it was the entire report, or just a part of it (id. at 42). After he learned of the accident, he
went to the premises and spoke with KJE's foreman. He learned that a worker was "carrying a
piece of timber that fell on his foot" (id. at 25). He did not know if the foreman witnessed the
accident. He later testified that the foreman told him that a worker had fallen, but he did not
know where he fell or from how high (id. at 38).
Louis Pascuito testified that on the day of the accident, he was KJE's owner and president
(NYSCEF Doc. No. 49 at 6, Pascuito ebt). KJE was a demolition company. It was hired by
MJM to work on the project (id. at 9). KJE had several foremen on the project, "Marcia" (id. at
59), "Armando" (id. at 20), and "Neph" (id. at 20). Pascuito was shown a copy of a contract
between KJE and MJM for the project (the "KJE/MJM agreement"), and he confirmed that it
was an accurate copy of the agreement (id. at 11). Under the agreement, KJE was responsible
for providing materials, equipment and labor to effectuate the demolition work (id. at 18). KJE
provided its employees with tools and equipment, and safety equipment if needed (id. at 19),
including ladders and Bakers scaffolds (id. at 35). KJE supervised and directed its workers (id.
at 35). To his knowledge, no other entity directed or supervised KJE's workers (id. at 35).
Pascuito was unfamiliar with the prime contract between MJM and Broadway. He confirmed
that, pursuant to the KJE/MJM agreement, KJE was required to procure primary and excess
insurance naming MJM and the property owner as additional insureds (id. at 24). According to
Pascuito, workers did not use OSHA planks as platforms, except when such planks were a part of
scaffolds (id. at 39-40 ["that would not be the normal means of operations"]). Had he noticed a
KJE worker using unsecured planks as a platform, he would have stopped that employee (id. at
40). Pascuito was made aware of the accident after it occurred, but he did not know the specifics
of what happened. He did not investigate the accident. He was aware that an accident report
was prepared, but he was unsure who had prepared it (id. at 50-51). Pascuito was shown an
MJM accident report, which indicated that plaintiff was injured when he dropped a piece of
wood on to his leg (id. at 51 ). He had never seen the MJM accident report before (id. at 52).
Pascuito was also shown a copy of a witness statement that indicated that plaintiff fell from a
height of approximately 6 to 7 feet (id. at 53). He was unfamiliar with the witness statement.
Defendant provides a copy of an MJM accident report. It is unsigned and undated. It
notes the accident occurred on October 12, 2019 (one day after the accident occurred) (Notice of
Motion, Exhibit J at 11; NYSCEF Doc. No. 53). It states that plaintiff "was carrying a piece of
limber ... when he let it fall and hit his leg" (id.). It also attaches a witness statement from
plaintiff's coworker that states that plaintiff was "working on a plank" when "suddenly [plaintiff]
fell" (id. at 15). 4

Aside from annexing the documents, defendants do not reference the accident report or the witness statement in
their arguments.

INDEX NO. 158678/2020
NYSCEF DOC. NO. 91 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 04/10/2025
"[T]he proponent of a summary judgment motion must make a prima facie showing of
entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, tendering sufficient evidence to demonstrate the
absence of any material issues of fact. Failure to make such prima facie showing requires denial
of the motion, regardless of the sufficiency of the opposing papers" (Pullman v Silverman, 28
NY3d I 060, I 062 [internal quotation marks and citations omitted]). Once prima facie
entitlement has been established, in order to defeat the motion, the opposing party must
'" assemble, lay bare, and reveal his [or her] proofs in order to show his [or her] defenses are real
and capable of being established on trial ... and it is insufficient to merely set forth averments of
factual or legal conclusions"' (Genger v Genger, 123 AD3d 445,447 [1st Dept 2014], quoting
Schiraldi v US. Min. Prods., 194 AD2d 482,483 [1st Dept 1993]). "Summary judgment must
be denied where there is any doubt as to the existence of a triable issue ... or where the issue is
arguable" (Genesis Merchant Partners, L.P. v Gilbride, Tusa, Last & Spellane, LLC, 157 AD3d
479,482 [1st Dept 2018] [internal quotation marks and citations omitted]).
As an initial matter, in plaintiffs opposition to defendants' motion, plaintiff affirmatively
withdrew the common-law negligence and Labor Law§ 200 claims against defendants
(NYSCEF Doc. No. 66 ,r 4, affirmation in opposition). Accordingly, as plaintiff has
affirmatively withdrawn these claims, that portion of defendants' motion that seeks dismissal of
these claims is rendered moot.
As to that branch of the motion seeking dismissal of plaintiffs Labor Law § 241 (6)
claims, Labor Law§ 241(6) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
"All contractors and owners and their agents, ... when constructing
or demolishing buildings or doing any excavating in connection
therewith, shall comply with the following requirements:
***
(6) All areas in which construction, excavation or demolition
work is being performed shall be so constructed, shored,
[and] equipped ... as to provide reasonable and adequate
protection and safety to the persons employed therein or
lawfully frequenting such places."
Labor Law§ 241(6) imposes a nondelegable duty ofreasonable care upon owners and
contractors "'to provide reasonable and adequate protection and safety' to persons employed in,
or lawfully frequenting, all areas in which construction, excavation or demolition work is being
performed" (Rizzuto v L.A. Wenger Contr. Co., 91 NY2d 343, 348 [1998]). To sustain a Labor
Law§ 241(6) claim, it must be established that the defendant violated a specific, "concrete
specification" of the Industrial Code, rather than a provision that considers only general worker
safety requirements (Messina v City ofNew York, 300 AD2d 121, 122 [1st Dept 2002]). Further,
"a plaintiff must demonstrate that his or her injuries were proximately caused by a violation of an
Industrial Code regulation that is applicable to the circumstances of the accident" (Yaucan v
Hawthorne Vil., LLC, 155 AD3d 924, 926 [2d Dept 2017]]; see also Sutherland v Tutor Perini
Bldg. Corp., 207 AD3d 159, 161 [1st Dept 2022]). "Whether a regulation applies to a particular
condition or circumstance is a question oflaw for the court" (Harrison v State of New York, 88
AD3d 951, 953 [2d Dept 201 I]).

Notably, plaintiff lists multiple violations of the Industrial Code in his complaint and bill
of particulars. However, except for section 23-1.7(b)(l), plaintiff does not oppose their
dismissal. Therefore, these uncontested provisions are deemed abandoned (Kempisty v 246
Spring St., LLC, 92 AD3d 474,475 [1st Dept 2012]).
Industrial Code section 23-1. 7(b )( 1) is sufficiently specific to support a Labor Law §
241(6) claim (see Cordeiro v TS Midtown Holdings, LLC, 87 AD3d 904, 906 [1st Dept 2011]).
It governs "Hazardous openings" and provides as follows:
"(i) Every hazardous opening into which a person may step or fall
shall be guarded by a substantial cover fastened in place or by a
safety railing constructed and installed in compliance with this Part
(rule).
"(ii) Where free access into such an opening is required by work in
progress, a barrier or safety railing constructed and installed in
compliance with this Part (rule) shall guard such opening and the
means of free access to the opening shall be a substantial gate.
Such gate shall swing in a direction away from the opening and
shall be kept latched except for entry and exit.
"(iii) Where employees are required to work close to the edge of
such an opening, such employees shall be protected as follows:
(a) Two-inch planking, full size, or material of equivalent
strength installed not more than one floor or 15 feet,
whichever is less, beneath the opening; or
(b) An approved life net installed not more than five feet
beneath the opening; or
(c) An approved safety belt with attached lifeline which is
properly secured to a substantial fixed anchorage.
In its motion, defendants argue that section 23-1.7(b)(l) as a whole cannot apply to the
accident because the space between two joists that plaintiff fell through (when the plank he was
standing on shifted after being struck by the falling rafter) did not constitute a hazardous
opening. Defendants' argument is correct. In Bisram v Long Is. Jewish Hosp., 116 AD3d 475
(1st Dept 2014 ), the metal beam holding the platform the plaintiff was standing on shifted,
causing him to fall between beams from one floor to another. The Bisram court held that such a
fall "did not constitute a hazardous opening within the meaning" of section 23-1. 7(b)(1) (id. at
476; see also Forschner v Jucca Co., 63 AD3d 996 [2d 2009] [holding that the "regulation
applies to safety devices for hazardous openings, and not to an elevated hazard"]). Here, similar
to Bisram, the plank shifted, causing plaintiff to fall between two joists from one level to
another. Accordingly, as the gap between the joists does not constitute a "hazardous opening" as
contemplated by the Industrial Code, this provision does not apply to plaintiffs accident.
Plaintiff argues that defendants did not sufficiently substantiate this argument in their motion in
chief, as the issue was raised, but no cases were cited in support. However, the issue itself was

[* 5] 5 of 9
INDEX NO. 158678/2020
NYSCEF DOC. NO. 91 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 04/10/2025
raised, and plaintiff presented meaningful opposition. Defendants then sufficiently substantiated
the argument in reply to plaintiffs opposition. Given the foregoing, defendants are entitled to
summary judgment dismissing the Labor Law § 241 (6) claim predicated upon a violation of 12
NYCRR 23-1.7(b)(l).
Next, MJM moves for summary judgment in its favor on their third-party contractual
indemnification claim against KJE. "A party is entitled to full contractual indemnification
provided that the 'intention to indemnify can be clearly implied from the language and purposes
of the entire agreement and the surrounding facts and circumstances"' (Drzewinski v Atlantic
Scaffold & Ladder Co., 70 NY2d 774, 777 [1987], quoting Margolin v New York Life Ins. Co., 32
NY2d 149, 153 [1973]; see also Tonkingv Port Auth. ofNY & NJ, 3 NY3d 486,490 [2004]).
"In contractual indemnification, the one seeking indemnity need only establish that it was free
from any negligence and was held liable solely by virtue of the statutory liability" (Correia v
Professional Data Mgt., 259 AD2d 60, 65 [1st Dept 1999]; see also Murphy v WFP 245 Park
Co., L.P., 8 AD3d 161, 162 [1st Dept 2004]). Unless the indemnification clause explicitly
requires a finding of negligence on behalf of the indemnitor, "[w]hether or not the proposed
indemnitor was negligent is a non-issue and irrelevant" (Correia, 259 AD2d at 65). Notably,
while counsel for defendants seeks affirmative relief with respect to MJM and Broadway, the
third-party complaint is brought only by MJM. Accordingly, as Broadway has not pleaded a
claim, the court will only address MJM's claim.
The KJE/MJM agreement (NYSCEF Doc. No. 51, KJEIMJM agreement) contains an
indemnification provision (the "First Indemnification Provision") that provides the following:
"To the fullest extent permitted by law [KJE] shall indemnify and
hold harmless [Broadway], [MJM] ... and agents and employees
of any of them from and against claims ... arising out of or
resulting from performance of [KJE's] Work under this
Subcontract ... but only to the extent caused by the negligent acts
or omissions of [KJE] .. ."(id.,§ 4.7).
Exhibit F to the KJE/MJM agreement (id. at 70-72) also contains an indemnification
provision (the "Second Indemnification Provision"). It provides the following, as relevant:
"To the fullest extent permitted by law, [KJE] shall indemnify and
hold [600 Broadway and MJM] harmless from and against any and
all claims ... arising from the acts, errors, or omissions or
violations of law of [KJE] ... while on or near the project, or
while performing contract related work ... " (id. at 70).
Notably, Exhibit F to the KJE/MJM agreement contains a conflicts clause that states that,
in the event of a conflict between the agreement and Exhibit F, the terms of Exhibit F "shall
prevail" (id. at 72). Accordingly, the Second Indemnification Provision is the active provision in
this matter. The Second Indemnification Provision, unlike the First Indemnification Provision,
does not require a finding of negligence. To trigger this provision, the accident only needs to
arise out of activities that occur "while performing contract related work" at the project (id. at
158678/2020 BUITRAGO, HENDERSON vs. 600 BROADWAY PARTNERS LLC Page 6 of9
Motion No. 001
6 of 9
[* 6]
INDEX NO. 158678/2020
NYSCEF DOC. NO. 91 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 04/10/2025
71 ). Here, it is undisputed that plaintiffs accident occurred during his work for KJE at the
project. Therefore, the accident arose from KJE's work on the project. Accordingly, the
indemnification provision applies to the subject accident.
Next, MJM argues that it is free from negligence because it did not have the authority to
supervise or control plaintiffs work. It argues that, absent this authority, it would be free from
any negligence that would bar summary judgment in its favor on the indemnification claim.
Plaintiffs accident occurred when the unsecured plank he was provided to stand on to
perform his work moved and caused plaintiff to fall. This claim implicates the means and
methods of the work. Where a plaintiffs claims implicate the means and methods of the work,
"a contractor will not be held liable under the common-law or Labor Law § 200 unless it had the
authority to supervise or control the performance of the work" (LaRosa v Jnternap Network
Servs. Corp., 83 AD3d 905, 909 [2d Dept 2011]; DaSilva v Toll First Ave., LLC, 199 AD3d 511,
513 [1st Dept 2021]; Andino v Wizards Studios N. Inc., 223 AD3d 508, 509 [1st Dept 2024]).
Specifically, "liability can only be imposed against a party who exercises actual supervision of
the injury-producing work" (Naughton v City of New York, 94 AD3d 1, 11 [1st Dept 2012]).
Specifically, MJM argues that KJE was the only entity responsible for supervising and
controlling plaintiff and his work, and that it negligently failed to provide plaintiff with proper
safety devices to prevent his fall. MJM further argues that it did not have the authority to
supervise or control plaintiffs work. Therefore, MJM argues, it would be free from any
negligence that would bar summary judgment in its favor on the contractual indemnification
claims (Correia, 259 AD2d at 65).
Notably, plaintiff agreed to withdraw the common-law negligence and Labor Law§ 200
claims against defendants. That does not, however, establish freedom from negligence, as a
matter of law. That said, plaintiff testified that he was supervised by Marcio from KJE
(plaintiffs tr at 46), and that Marcio directed his work on the day of the accident (id. at 62).
Similarly, Pascuito confirmed that only KJE directed and supervised its employees (id. at 35).
There is no testimony or documentary evidence supporting that MJM had any actual authority
over the injury producing work - plaintiffs work or the securing of the plank. Therefore, as
MJM did not supervise or control the injury producing work, it cannot be liable for negligence
under the Labor Law or the common-law (LaRosa, 83 AD3d at 909).
In opposition, KJE argues that questions of fact exist regarding whether MJM supervised
plaintiffs work. Specifically, they argue that MJM had the authority to stop work (Rocha tr at
79). However, the authority to stop work constitutes only general supervisory control, which is
insufficient to impute liability under section 200 (see Bisram v Long Is. Jewish Hosp., 116 AD3d
475,476 [1st Dept 2014]).
KJE also argues that a question of fact exists regarding whether the rafter that plaintiff
was removing as a part of his work constituted a hazardous condition. Such argument is
unpersuasive (see e.g., Villanueva v 114 Fifth Ave. Assoc. LLC, 162 AD3d 404,406 [1st Dept
2018] ["Where a defect is not inherent but is created by the manner in which the work is
performed, the claim under Labor Law § 200 is one for means and methods and not one for a

INDEX NO. 158678/2020

dangerous condition existing on the premises"). The accident was caused by the failure to secure
the plank that served as plaintiffs platform during his demolition work, not by a dangerous
condition inherent in the premises. Therefore, given the foregoing, MJM is entitled to summary
judgment in its favor on its contractual indemnification claim against KJE.
MJM moves for summary judgment in their favor on its third-party claim for breach of
contract for the failure to procure insurance. "A party moving for summary judgment on its
claim for failure to procure insurance meets its prima facie burden by establishing that a contract
provision requiring the procurement of insurance was not complied with. The burden then shifts
to the opposing party, who may raise an issue of fact by tendering the procured insurance policy
in opposition to the motion" (Benedetto v Hyatt Corp., 203 AD3d 505, 506 [1st Dept 2022]).
The KJE/MJM agreement contains an insurance procurement provision (the, "Insurance
Procurement Provision") that requires KJE to procure a commercial general liability policy with
limits of $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate, and an excess policy in the amount of
$5 million (Notice of Motion, Exhibit H, at 70). It further requires that KJE "shall deliver
Additional Insureds a certificate of insurance ... naming Additional Insureds as an additional
insured on the insurance policy issued to [KJE]" (id., at 70). The term "Additional Insureds" is
defined to include both Broadway and MJM (id. at 70). The insurance policy procured by KJE
contains an additional insured endorsement. It provides that "Who Is An Insured is amended to
include as an additional insured the person(s) or organization(s) shown in the schedule" (id. at
48). The schedule, found on the endorsement itself, includes MJM, but not Broadway (id.,
exhibit J, at 48). MJM argues that the primary insurance procured by KJE does not provide the
required coverage because it fails to offer additional insured status to Broadway, as required by
the Insurance Procurement Provision.
In opposition, KJE, citing to the same Additional Insured endorsement, argues that the
Insurance Procurement Provision provides the requisite coverage. A review of the policy
confirms that Broadway is not listed as an additional insured in the policy's Additional Insured
endorsement (id.). Accordingly, KJE did not procured a policy that comports with the Insurance
Procurement Provision.
MJM also argues that KJE did not procure the required excess insurance policy, noting
that KJE has not produced such policy. The record does not contain any evidence that KJE
procured an excess policy. In opposition, KJE does not provide a copy of an excess policy
(Benedetto, 203 AD3d at 506 [opposing party may raise an issue of fact "by tendering the
procured insurance policy in opposition to the motion").
Given the foregoing, MJM is entitled to summary judgment in its favor on its claim for
breach of contract for the failure to procure insurance against KJE, though the court notes that
MJM's recovery under this claim "is limited to the loss it actually suffers by reason of the
breach" - i.e. actual out-of-pocket expenses (Inchaustegui v 666 5th Ave. Ltd. Partnership, 96
NY2d 111, 116 [2001 ]). The parties remaining arguments have been considered and were found
unpersuasive. For the foregoing reasons, it is hereby
