Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs.
Contrary to the plaintiffs' contention, the Supreme Court properly searched the record and awarded summary judgment to the defendants third-party plaintiffs dismissing the cause of action alleging a violation of Labor Law § 240 (1) insofar as asserted against them since the permanently affixed ladder from which the injured plaintiff fell was a normal appurtenance to the building and was not designed as a safety device to protect the injured plaintiff from elevation-related risks ( see Gold v NAB Constr. Corp., 288 AD2d 434; Norton v Park Plaza Owners Corp., 263 AD2d 531).
The plaintiffs' remaining contentions are without merit.
