2006 New York Code - Fences; Farm Crossings And Use Of Line Not Inclosed

 
    §  93.  Fences;  farm crossings and use of line not inclosed. It shall
  not be necessary for any such corporation to fence  the  lands  acquired
  for its corporate purposes. But, if not inclosed by a substantial fence,
  the owner of the adjoining lands from whom such lands were obtained, his
  heirs  or  assigns,  may  occupy  and  use  such lands in any manner not
  injurious to the interests of the corporation and shall  not  be  liable
  therefor,  or for any trespass upon any such lands, except for wilful or
  negligent injury to the pipes, fixtures, machinery or personal  property
  of the corporation. If the corporation shall keep such lands inclosed it
  shall  construct  and  provide all suitable and necessary crossings with
  gates for the use and convenience of any owners of lands  adjoining  the
  portion  of  its  lands  so  inclosed,  and no claim shall be made by it
  against any owner of adjoining lands to make or contribute to the making
  or maintaining of any division fence between such  adjoining  lands  and
  its  lands.  If it shall neglect to keep and maintain substantial fences
  along its lands the owners of adjoining lands may construct and maintain
  all farm or division fences, and all line fences crossed  by  such  pipe
  line,  in  the  same manner as though it had not acquired such lands for
  such pipe line, and it shall be liable for all injuries to  such  fences
  caused  or  done by any of its officers or agents, or any persons acting
  in their or its behalf, or by any laborer in its or their employ  or  in
  the employ of any of its contractors.
