WLADYSLAW LAPINSKI et al., Appellants, v. GUSMAR REALTY CORP., Defendant, and PANTELIS FAKIRIS, Respondent. (And a Third-Party Action.)

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

A worker injured during the course of the worker's employment cannot maintain an action to recover damages for personal injuries against the owner of the premises upon which an accident occurred when, as here, the owner is also an officer of the corporation which employed the worker (see, Heritage v. Van Patten, 59 N.Y.2d 1017; Clarke v. Americana House, 186 A.D.2d 530; Druiett v. Brenner, 193 A.D.2d 644). Accordingly, we find that the Supreme Court properly granted the motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the plaintiffs' exclusive remedy is Workers' Compensation (see, Workers' Compensation Law § 29). Miller, J.P., O'Brien, Thompson, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
