Claimant was employed by the department of public markets, weights and measures, city of New York, and her regular occupation was supervision of markets, her title being that of inspector. She was permanently assigned to duty at the market at Park avenue, running from One Hundred and Eleventh to One Hundred and Sixteenth streets and had full supervision of sanitation and everything pertaining to the stands in the market, the class and quality of foods offered for sale, including an inspection of fruits, vegetables and fish offered for sale. While thus employed she slipped on fruit skins, fell and was injured.
The Board has found that at the time of the injury she “ was engaged in one of the hazardous occupations within the purview of the Workmen’s Compensation Act enumerated under group 14, subdivision 1 of section 3 thereof embracing persons engaged in work in ‘ markets, fish, meat, poultry,’ and also ‘ fish markets.’ ”
*112Appellant objects to the award on the ground that claimant was performing a governmental function and that she was not engaged in a hazardous occupation specified by the Board in its findings.
Whether or not claimant be deemed an employee exercising a governmental function, her employment does not fall within any of the classes of employment for which compensation is provided. It is true that her duties required her to be in the market, but her occupation was not that of persons engaged in work in markets, within the purview of group 14 of subdivision 1 of section 3 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law. (City of New York v. Steers & Menke, 167 Misc. 566; affd., 254 App. Div. 669.) As pointed out in that case her presence in the market was simply an incident of her work. She was not an employee of the market, but in the exercise of her duties her work brought her there. (See, also, Richardson v. Town of Clifton Park, 247 App. Div. 846; Matter of Ryan v. City of New York, 228 N. Y. 16; Beeman v. Board of Education, 195 App. Div. 357.)
The respondent cites Matter of Kelleher v. City of New York (253 App. Div. 850) as presenting an almost identical situation, but that case is distinguishable from the present one by the decisive fact that the employment there in question is expressly listed as hazardous in the statute. The employer in that case, the department of sanitation, city of New York, admitted that its business was that of street cleaning, and it also appeared that its business includes removal of rubbish, ashes, garbage and snow. The occupations are enumerated as hazardous under groups 9 and 13 of subdivision 1 of section 3 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Claimant there was an investigator relative to sanitary violations, and bis employment in that case was incidental to the business of the employer. (See Matter of Griffin v. Cruikshank Co., 253 N. Y. 303.)
Award reversed and claim dismissed, without costs.
