| Decision Date | 19 December 2006 |
| Docket Number | 2006-00134. |
| Citation | 826 N.Y.S.2d 425,35 A.D.3d 704,2006 NY Slip Op 09592 |
| Parties | VICTOR RODRIGUEZ, JR., et al., Appellants, v. WHITE PLAINS PUBLIC SCHOOLS et al., Respondents. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
A landowner has a duty to maintain its premises in a reasonably safe condition (see Basso v Miller, 40 NY2d 233 [1976]). A defendant who moves for summary judgment in a slip-and-fall case has the initial burden of making a prima facie showing that it neither created the hazardous condition nor had actual or constructive notice of its existence for a sufficient length of time to discover and remedy it (see Perlongo v Park City 3 & 4 Apts., Inc., 31 AD3d 409 [2006]). The defendants satisfied their burden (see Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320 [1986]). In opposition, the plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of fact (see Negron v St. Patrick's Nursing Home, 248 AD2d 687 [1998]). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
