Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
On a motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint based upon lack of notice of a dangerous condition, the defendant is required to make a prima facie showing af[381]*381firmatively establishing the absence of notice as a matter of law (see, Beltran v Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 259 AD2d 456; Dwoskin v Burger King Corp., 249 AD2d 358; Ostuni v East Rockaway Vil. Tavern, 238 AD2d 558; Gordon v Waldbaum, Inc., 231 AD2d 673, 674).
