DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, the complaint and all cross claims are dismissed insofar as asserted against the appellant, and the action against the remaining defendant is severed.
The appellant met its initial burden of establishing its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law ( see Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557). The appellant established, prima facie, that it did not receive prior written notice of the alleged defective sidewalk condition ( see Administrative Code of City of New York § 7-201[c][2]; Katz v. City of New York, 87 N.Y.2d 241, 243). Furthermore, the appellant established, prima facie, that it did not create the alleged defective condition ( see Gruska v. City of New York, 292 A.D.2d 498; Elstein v. City of New York, 209 A.D.2d 186, 187).
The plaintiff's speculative and conclusory allegations in opposition were insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact with respect to his contention that the appellant created the hole in the sidewalk ( see Mollin v. County of Nassau, 2 A.D.3d 600; Stern v. Incorporated Vil. of Flower Hill, 278 A.D.2d 225). Accordingly, the appellant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and all cross claims insofar as asserted against it should have been granted.
