Memorandum:
Supreme Court properly denied the motion of third-party plaintiff, Dallas Homes, Inc. (Dallas), for partial summary judgment against third-party defendant, J P Custom Masonry (J P). Dallas, the general contractor on a residential construction project, seeks common-law indemnification from J P, its masonry subcontractor, for liability imposed upon Dallas under Labor Law § 240 (1) as the result of injuries sustained by Charles W. Brutcher (plaintiff), a J P employee. Dallas met its initial burden on the motion by submitting proof that it did not supervise, direct or control J P's work ( see, Hayes v Crane Hogan Structural Sys., 191 AD2d 978; Damon v Starkweather, AD2d 633). In response, J P submitted evidence that the failure of plaintiffs scaffold resulted from a defective condition of the premises rather than a defect in J P's materials or methods of work ( see, Miller v Wilmorite, Inc., 231 AD2d 843). J P thereby raised a triable issue of fact whether Dallas's liability is solely vicarious ( cf., Paterson v Hennessy, 206 AD2d 919; Allman v Ciminelli Constr. Co., 184 AD2d 1022; see also, Miller v Wilmorite, Inc., supra). (Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Onondaga County, Stone, J. — Summary Judgment.)
