Opinion
May 20, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Bertram Katz, J.).
We agree with the motion court that, as a matter of law, the drive-by shooting was an unforeseeable act breaking the chain of causation between defendants' alleged failure to maintain the front door lock, which allegedly prevented plaintiffs from escaping into their building, and plaintiffs' injuries ( Santiago v. New York City Hous. Auth., 101 A.D.2d 735, affd 63 N.Y.2d 761).
