The opinion
Richter, J., dissents in part in a memorandum as follows: I agree with the majority with respect to the Labor Law § 200 and common-law negligence claims. I agree with the dissent that the Labor Law § 240 (1) claim should be dismissed. I join the dissent’s analysis to the extent it concludes that, in this particular case, the area where the accident occurred was not part of the work site.
