Plaintiff, a business invitee of the defendant The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, while leaving the store occupied *179by said defendant and owned by defendant Bedrich Corporation, sustained injuries when her foot caught in a hole or break in the pavement situated about one foot from the doors leading into and from the store. The situs of the accident is at a point midway between the doors and the window or building line. This partly enclosed area is not a part of the sidewalk proper but is used only as a means of ingress to and egress from the store. It is within the building line and must be deemed part of the premises leased and over which the tenant alone exercised control. Defendant Bedrich Corporation, as the landlord out of possession, was under no duty to the injured plaintiff to maintain that portion of the premises. (Cullings v. Goetz, 256 N. Y. 287.)
