Gonzalez v. City of New York

In Gonzalez v. City of New York (269 A.D.2d 493, 703 N.Y.S.2d 259 [2d Dept 2000]) the plaintiff was "injured when he fell from a ladder while he was gluing portions of a billboard advertisement which had begun to peel" (id. at 494). Upon reversing the order granting summary judgment in favor of defendant, the Appellate Division concluded that the "City did not establish, as a matter of law, that at the time of the accident, the injured plaintiff was engaged in routine maintenance of the billboard" (id.).
