Plaintiff Charles Kretzschmar, an electrician, was injured in the process of removing a sign from a temporary exhibit suspended from the ceiling at the Javits Center. The motion court correctly dismissed plaintiffs' Labor Law § 240 (1) claim because the electrician was not working on a "structure" at the time of his accident ( Stanislawczyk v. 2 E. 61st St. Corp., 1 AD3d 155, lv denied 3 NY3d 604), and his work was not effecting a significant or permanent physical change to the structural integrity of the building ( Tanzer v. A. Terzi Prods., 244 AD2d 224) through construction, renovation or repair ( Perchinsky v. State of New York, 232 AD2d 34, lv dismissed 91 NY2d 830). Similarly, plaintiffs' Labor Law § 241(6) claim was properly dismissed since that section is limited to "areas in which construction, excavation or demolition work is being performed," and the electrician's activity did not meet that test ( see Nagel v. D R Realty Corp., 99 NY2d 98; Perchinsky v. State of New York, supra).
