Terranova v. New York City Transit Auth

In Terranova v. New York City Transit Auth., 49 AD3d 10, [2d Dept 2007] the Appellate Division, Second Department ruled that an ejector pump room at a bus depot was subject to the New York City Building Code. The Appellate Division reasoned that, although the bus depot was "not unrelated to the Transit Authority's role as a provider of transportation services", the ejector pump room "is not, in itself, devoted to transportation or transit purposes." The Appellate Division, Second Department took a narrow view of the meaning of "facility." The Appellate Division, Second Department considered the ejector room as a facility unto itself, instead of being a portion of a larger facility (like a restaurant as being part of Grand Central Terminal).
