Luxury Mansion Lawsuit Over Safety Fail

New York State is suing the owner of a luxury Southampton mansion for failing to provide proper safety gear during renovations, leading to a serious fall and permanent injuries for worker William Baculima. Despite hiring a third-party painting company, the property owner is being held liable under the Scaffold Law. The state seeks to recover insurance payouts and ensure the worker receives two-thirds of any future recovery. This high-profile case underscores the hidden risks in Hamptons luxury construction, even as the estate—owned since 2003 by venture capitalist Michael Loeb via 1610 Meadow Lane LLC—commands top-dollar attention.
