In Witt v. Hill St. Commercial, LLC , Barbara Witt was in search of a bathroom when she opened a door marked "Employees Only" and ended up falling down a flight of stairs.
When she later sued the building's owner and her husband's employer (the building's tenant), the New York County Supreme Court granted those defendants' request to dismiss the case.
On appeal, the Appellate Division, First Department, was of the view Barbara's fall wasn't caused by any "acts or omissions" of the owner or tenant. Nor was she able to show the space had any "structural defects" or that a "trap" or "hazardous condition" existed.
We're wondering what's behind door #2 .
