RAMMELKAMP v. S.L. BUILDING CO

We affirm the dismissal of the complaint upon the ground that the work performed by plaintiff at the time of his accident was merely a routine repair of a telephone line and did not constitute "the erection, demolition, repairing, altering, painting, cleaning or pointing of a building" within the meaning of Labor Law § 240(1) or "constructing or demolishing buildings" within the meaning ofLabor Law § 241(6) so as to bring plaintiff within the protective ambit of those statutes (see, Joblon v. Solow, 91 N.Y.2d 457;Cosentino v. Long Island R.R., 201 A.D.2d 528).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
