In Robinson v. New York City Hous. Auth. (150 A.D.2d 208 [1989]), the plaintiff contended that the landlord violated Multiple Dwelling Law 50-a by failing to have a lock on the outer door of the lobby. There was, however, an intercom by an inner locked lobby door. The Appellate Division, First Department, determined that there was no language in Multiple Dwelling Law 50-a which mandated that the landlord lock the outer vestibule door which leads from the street to an inside intercom. The Court, in dicta, stated that "it would be illogical to require a locked outer door under these circumstances, since such a locked door would prevent visitors and residents, who did not have their keys with them, from reaching the intercom." (Id. at 209.) While the Court found that a locked outer door would be illogical under the circumstances of the case before it, the Court did not find that the locking of the outer door was specifically prohibited by Multiple Dwelling Law 50-a.
