Boomer, J.
This appeal presents two questions concerning the liability imposed by Labor Law §§240 and 241: (1) is an owner and lessor of property who does not hire or control the contractor responsible under the statutes to a worker injured as a result of unsafe conditions at the construction site; and (2) under the facts presented, is an engineer, hired by the lessee to supervise the construction of the lessee’s building, deemed an "agent of the owner” within the meaning of the statutes and, thus, responsible to the injured worker?
