In Singh v. United Cerebral Palsy of N.Y. City, Inc. (72 AD3d 272 [1st Dept 2010]), the Court found that the plaintiff had raised issues of fact as to the applicability of the res ipsa loquitur doctrine, noting that "res ipsa loquitur does not require sole physical access to the instrumentality causing the injury" and that "there was no exclusive maintenance contract between the owner and the elevator company; rather the elevator company performed work on the doors on an as-needed basis" (id. at 277).
