Albino v. New York City Housing Authority, 3921N.

Decision Date12 June 2008
Docket Number3921N.,3921NB.,3921NA.
PartiesTIMOTHY ALBINO et al., Plaintiffs, v. NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, Defendant. (And a Third-Party Action.) NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, Second Third-Party Plaintiff-Respondent, v. DIMENSION MECHANICAL CORPORATION. Second Third-Party Defendant-Appellant. (And a Fourth-Party Action.)
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

The court correctly limited discovery to post-accident repairs. Evidence of such repairs to the hot water system is discoverable under the limited circumstances before us to show that a particular condition was dangerous (see Longo v Armor El. Co., 278 AD2d 127, 129 [2000]; Kaplan v Einy, 209 AD2d 248, 252 [1994]), and to identify where Dimension stands in the chain of causation.

No appeal lies as of right from an order deferring determination of a motion to compel discovery until after in camera review, because such an order does not affect a substantial right within the meaning of CPLR 5701 (a) (2) (v) (Marriott Intl. v Lonny's Hacking Corp., 262 AD2d 10 [1999]). Were we to consider that order, we would affirm.

Concur — Tom, J.P., Saxe, Friedman, Buckley and Catterson, JJ.
