Sakhai v. 411 East 57th St. Corp

In Sakhai v. 411 East 57th St. Corp., 272 A.D.2d 231 (1st Dept 2000) there was no proof whatsoever as to the manner in which the alleged burglar gained access to the building, nor was the burglar ever identified. Thus, the court granted the landlord defendants summary judgment dismissing plaintiff's claims on the ground that "it is mere speculation that defendant's employees were negligent." (Sakhai, 272 A.D.2d at 233.)
