Outcome
Plaintiff Moncada prevailed on his Labor Law § 240(1) claim for partial summary judgment. The court found an undisputed violation where plaintiff was required to use a ladder in an unsafe closed position due to workplace conditions (desks, computers, printers, HVAC vents), making it impossible to fully open the ladder.
