*449OPINION OF THE COURT
Ciparick, J.
The two issues to be resolved on this appeal are first, whether an injured window cleaner’s claims under Labor Law § 202 and Labor Law § 240 (1) can coexist, and second, whether a violation of Labor Law § 202, which gives a cause of action to persons injured while cleaning windows and building exteriors, results in strict liability or comparative negligence. We conclude that plaintiff can assert claims under both Labor Law § 202 and Labor Law § 240 (1), and that Labor Law § 202 requires application of comparative negligence principles.
