PORAZZO v. CITY OF NEW YORK

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

In response to the defendants' prima facie demonstration of their entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, the plaintiffs failed to submit evidence sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact. Contrary to the plaintiffs' contention, the open, ground level of the work site where the injured plaintiff fell did not constitute a passageway, walkway, or other elevated working surface contemplated by 12 NYCRR 23-1.7 (d) ( see Roberts v Worth Constr., Inc., 21 AD3d 1074, 1077; Morra v White, 276 AD2d 536; Lawyer v Hoffman, 275 AD2d 541, 542; Constantino v Kreisler Borg Florman Gen. Constr. Co., 272 AD2d 361).

The appellants' remaining contention is without merit.
