Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's dismissal of all claims against the City, holding that General Municipal Law §205-a does not apply to violations of non‑fire‑preventive statutes, that the City owes no common‑law duty to remove abandoned vehicles absent a special relationship, and that firefighters are not liable for ordinary judgment errors in firefighting tactics.
