Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman, P.C., New York, N.Y. (Michael T. Altman of counsel), for appellant. Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York, N.Y. (Pamela Seider Dolgow, Margaret G. King, and Christine Limbach of counsel), for respondent.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Landicino, J.), dated April 4, 2013, which granted the defendants' motion for leave to amend their response to the plaintiff's notice to admit and for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly granted that branch of the defendants' motion which was for leave to amend their response to the plaintiff's notice to admit ( seeCPLR 3123[b]; Riner v. Texaco, Inc., 222 A.D.2d 571, 635 N.Y.S.2d 658). The Supreme Court also properly granted that branch of the defendants' motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The defendants established their prima face entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by submitting evidence demonstrating that the defendant City of New York, which owned the property abutting the sidewalk where the plaintiff fell, had no prior written notice of the alleged defect in the sidewalk, and that the defendant New York City Department of Education did not own the property which abutted the sidewalk ( see Administrative Code of City of N.Y. §§ 7–201[c]; 7–210[b], [d]; Castro v. City of New York, 101 A.D.3d 573, 955 N.Y.S.2d 512; Sondervan v. City of New York, 84 A.D.3d 625, 924 N.Y.S.2d 54). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact.
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit. SKELOS, J.P., LEVENTHAL, HINDS–RADIX and MALTESE, JJ., concur.
