Opinion

majority opinion

—Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward Lehner, J.), entered on or about October 19, 1999, which denied plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on the issue of defendant’s liability under Labor Law § 240 (1), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The motion was properly denied. Plaintiffs supervisor’s affidavit raises issues of fact as to whether plaintiffs injury was caused by a fall not from a ladder but down some stairs, and even as to whether there was a ladder at the work site (cf., Klein v City of New York, 89 NY2d 833, 835).
