FONTANEZ v. LIBRA 730 CO

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Dec 10, 1998

The IAS Court correctly held that neither the parent's alleged violations of statutory provisions requiring tenants to keep their apartments "clean and sanitary" and to prevent Code violations (Administrative Code of City of N.Y. § 27-2012 [a]; § 27-2013 [c]; § 27-2006; Multiple Dwelling Law § 80 Mult. Dwell. [5]), nor her alleged failure to promptly obtain medical care for the child, falls outside the scope of the nonactionable tort of negligent parental supervision ( see, Holodook v. Spencer, 36 N.Y.2d 35). We decline to follow the dictum in Arriaga v. Laub Co. ( 233 A.D.2d 244).

Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Milonas, Wallach, Williams and Mazzarelli, JJ.
