In New York, landlords can be held responsible for a dog bite under certain circumstances. For example, if the landlord knew or should have known that a tenant's dog was dangerous or had a history of aggression and failed to take reasonable steps to remove the dog from the property, the landlord could be held liable for any injuries caused by the dog. If the landlord had control over the common areas of the property and knew or should have known about a dangerous dog on the premises, they could also be held liable for any injuries caused by the dog. However, landlords cannot be held responsible for injuries caused by a tenant's dog in cases where the landlord has not acted in a negligent manner.
