Labor laws in New York will most likely exclude you from the lawsuit on single or two family homes, as long as you do not directly control what the general contractor does or does not do.   Another tip in avoiding or minimizing a lawsuit is to never allow a contractor or their employees to use your equipment such as a ladder or tools as that can change your liability situation and potentially expose you to unwanted liability.
