ADELINE D'AMBRA, Respondent, v. NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY, Appellant.

Plaintiff was allegedly injured when she tripped and fell while descending a stairway in a subway station. Defendant satisfied its burden on summary judgment by submitting evidence in the form of maintenance records and testimony of maintenance employees establishing, as a matter of law, that no defect as alleged by plaintiff was ever reported, investigated or repaired at the location in question in the two-year period immediately prior to this incident. In response, plaintiff's evidence was inconsistent and speculative in identifying the defect allegedly causing her injury ( see Kane v. Estia Greek Rest., 4 AD3d 189; Bitterman v. Grotyohann, 295 AD2d 383), and failed to establish the existence of such defect or that defendant had actual or constructive notice of it and sufficient time to remedy it ( Lewis v. Metropolitan Transp. Auth., 99 AD2d 246, 249, affd 64 NY2d 670).
