Inc., 2008 NY Slip Op 31691(U) (Sup Ct, NY County) (holding that the explicit statutory structure of Administrative Code § 8-107 [13] [b] precludes the availability of the federal Faragher affirmative defense where the conduct of those exercising managerial or supervisory authority is at issue); Farrugia v North Shore Univ.
