Order unanimously reversed on the law with costs, motion granted, third-party complaint dismissed and cross motion denied.
Memorandum:
Plaintiffs commenced this action to recover for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff Gerald P. Vick, Sr. in a slip and fall on ice in a parking area at a construction site owned by defendant-third-party plaintiff, American Ref-Fuel Company of Niagara, incorrectly sued as American Re-Fuel Company of Niagara (American). Of the various claims initially alleged by plaintiffs, only the claims alleging common-law negligence and the violation of Labor Law § 200 survive. In its third-party action against the construction contractor, third-party defendant, Stritt Priebe, Inc. (Stritt), American seeks indemnification based upon provisions in the construction contract requiring Stritt to indemnify American and procure insurance coverage for it. Supreme Court erred in denying the motion of Stritt to dismiss the third-party complaint and in granting the cross motion of American for summary judgment on liability on the third-party complaint. The record establishes as a matter of law that Stritt fulfilled its contractual obligation to procure a liability policy on which American was named as an additional insured. American's reliance on Zito v. Occidental Chem. Corp. ( 259 A.D.2d 1015, 1015-1016, lv dismissed 93 N.Y.2d 999) is misplaced because the issue in that case was whether the insurance policy procured by the contractor included coverage for the owner's negligence ( see generally, Kinney v. Lisk Co., 76 N.Y.2d 215, 218-219). Further, the indemnification provision of the contract is unenforceable as a matter of law pursuant to General Obligations Law § 5-322.1. Because the only surviving claims in the primary action allege American's negligence or violation of Labor Law § 200, the inevitable illegal effect of the indemnification provision would be to require Stritt to indemnify American for its own negligence ( see, Itri Brick Concrete Corp. v. Aetna Cas. Sur. Co., 89 N.Y.2d 786, 793-794, rearg denied 90 N.Y.2d 1008; cf., Brown v. Two Exch. Plaza Partners, 76 N.Y.2d 172, 179-181).
