Opinion

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Iannacci, J.), entered March 15, 2013, which granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

In support of its motion for summary judgment, the defendant established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating that it did not have actual or constructive notice of the defective condition alleged (see Mauge v Barrow St. Ale House, 70 AD3d 1016, 1017 [2010]; Perlongo v Park City 3 & 4 Apts., Inc., 31 AD3d 409, 410-411 [2006]). There is no claim on this appeal that the defendant created the condition.

In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the defendant had actual or constructive notice of the condition alleged (see Sinclair v Chau, 117 AD3d 713 [2014]; see also Warren v Walmart Stores, Inc., 105 AD3d 732, 733 [2013]; see generally Gordon v American Museum of Natural History, 67 NY2d 836 [1986]).
