Charles Pisano, Appellant,
v
Young Women's ChristianAssociation of Brooklyn, Respondent, et al., Defendants.

[*1]Marylyn P. Lipman, P.C., Brooklyn, N.Y., for appellant.

Thomas M. Bona, P.C., White Plains, N.Y. (Ezra Simon, Stephanie Bellantoni, and Joseph F.Dursi, Jr., of counsel), for respondent.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order ofthe Supreme Court, Kings County (Partnow, J.), dated September 19, 2006, which granted themotion of the defendant Young Women's Christian Association of Brooklyn for summaryjudgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against it.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

On its motion for summary judgment, the defendant Young Women's Christian Associationof Brooklyn (hereinafter the YWCA) established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as amatter of law (see Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324 [1986]) by submittingevidence establishing that it neither created the allegedly dangerous condition at issue nor hadactual or constructive notice of it (seeNu Li Lin v New York City Hous. Auth., 36 AD3d 776 [2007]; Gallais-Pradal v YWCA of Brooklyn,33 AD3d 660 [2006]). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact(see Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., supra at 324). Accordingly, the Supreme Court correctlygranted the YWCA's motion (see Nu Li Lin v New York City Hous. Auth., supra at 776;Gallais-Pradal v YWCA of Brooklyn, supra at 660). Miller, J.P., Goldstein, Fisher andCovello, JJ., concur.
