Lester Schwab Katz & Dwyer, LLP, New York (Harry Steinberg of counsel), for appellant.
Arnold E. DiJoseph, III, New York, for respondent.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Jeffrey K. Oing, J.), entered September 7, 2011, which, insofar as appealed from, denied the motion of defendant American Airlines for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as against it, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
American failed to establish its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law in this action where plaintiff alleges that she slipped and fell on a wet floor. American did not affirmatively demonstrate that its agent was not responsible for creating the defective condition that caused plaintiff's fall. Rather, American attempted to establish the absence of negligence by merely pointing to gaps in plaintiff's account of the accident ( see Dabbagh v. Newmark Knight Frank Global Mgt. Servs., LLC, 99 A.D.3d 448, 450, 952 N.Y.S.2d 118 [1st Dept. 2012] ). Although American's facilities manager did testify that the cleaning company usually mopped the terminal floor during the night when passenger traffic was lighter, he also noted that the company performed spot cleaning when notified of a need.
We have considered American's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
