Rodriguez v. Oak Point Mgt., Inc

In Rodriguez v. Oak Point Mgt., Inc. (87 N.Y.2d 931 [1996]) the Court held that the building owner did not have a duty to protect a child who was shot 191 feet from the front of his aunt's apartment by a drug dealer because, as a result of the distance from the building, he was no different from a passerby whose relationship to the building was merely fortuitous.
