MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with
costs. The evidence unequivocally demonstrated that the sole
purpose of the construction work was to convert what was a
multiple dwelling into a one-family dwelling for the owners' use.
Thus, defendant owners were entitled to avail themselves of the
“one- or two-family homeowner's exemption” provided in Labor Law §§ 240(1) and 241 ( see Khela v Neiger, , 85 NY2d 333, 338 1995];
Cannon v Putnam, , 76 NY2d 644, 650 [1990]).
