OPINION AND ORDER Plaintiff Silfredo Campos was employed as the superintendent of a Bronx building (the “Building”) from February 2016 to December 2016. The Building was owned by non-party 919 Prospect Avenue LLC (“919 LLC”) and was managed by Defendant Aegis Realty Management Corp. (“Aegis”), an organization operated by Defendant Seth Miller (together with Aegis, “Defendants”). In December 2016, after Plaintiff had served as superintendent for ten months, 919 LLC filed for bankruptcy. As part of that bankruptcy proceeding, the Bankruptcy Court adopted an order releasing 919 LLC, as well as its “agents, professionals and employees,” from all claims against them that existed as of October 3, 2018. In 2019, Plaintiff filed this suit, claiming that Defendants had served as his employers while he was acting as superintendent of the Building, and in that capacity had violated multiple provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§201-219 (the “FLSA”), and the New York Labor Law, Consol. Laws 1909, ch. 31 (the “NYLL”). Defendants now move to dismiss the suit in its entirety. Defendants do not challenge the pleadings as being insufficient to state a claim for relief under the relevant statutes. Instead, Defendants argue that Plaintiff’s suit is barred by the Bankruptcy Court’s order releasing third parties from liability. At this stage in the proceedings, the Court cannot conclude as a matter of law that Plaintiff’s suit is precluded. For this reason, Defendants’ motion is denied. BACKGROUND1 A. Factual Background Seth Miller is the sole member of 919 LLC, which Defendants created in 2011 to hold the title to the Building. (Am. Compl.
17, 32). Miller is also the principal of Aegis, an entity that serves as a managing agent for multiple apartment buildings in New York, including the Building. (Id. at
