MARY E. FRANKLIN, plaintiff-respondent, v. OMNI SAGAMORE HOTEL, defendant third-party plaintiff-respondent-appellant; NORTHERN EXHAUST CLEANERS, third-party defendant-appellant-respondent.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed and cross-appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the contention of the defendant hotel, material questions of fact exist with respect to whether it created the dangerous, wet condition with its cleaning solution ( see Overton v. Leisure Time Recreation, 280 A.D.2d 655; cf. Breuer v. Wal-Mart Stores, 289 A.D.2d 276; Ryder v. King Kullen Grocery Co., 289 A.D.2d 387; Licatese v. Waldbaums, Inc., 277 A.D.2d 429; Russell v. Meat Farms, 160 A.D.2d 987). Moreover, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in accepting the plaintiff's late submission of Kenneth Deragon's affidavit, dated September 12, 2002 ( see CPLR 2214[c]; 269 Fulton Corp. v. H.A.B. Realty Assocs., 179 A.D.2d 752; cf. Solow v. Liebman, 262 A.D.2d 633; Romeo v. Ben-Soph Food Corp., 146 A.D.2d 688), and this affidavit did not present a feigned issue of fact ( see Nembhard v. Mount Vernon City School Dist. Bd. of Educ., 300 A.D.2d 456; cf. Marcelle v. New York City Tr. Auth., 289 A.D.2d 459; Martin v. W.B. Rest., Inc., 269 A.D.2d 431; Fontana v. Fortunoff, 246 A.D.2d 626).

Contrary to the contention of the third-party defendant Northern Exhaust Cleaners (hereinafter Northern Exhaust), material questions of fact exist with respect to whether the plaintiff's injuries are attributable solely to the negligent performance or nonperformance of an act that was solely within the province of Northern Exhaust, thereby precluding dismissal of the third-party claim of the defendant hotel for common-law indemnification ( see Baratta v. Home Depot USA, 303 A.D.2d 434; Mitchell v. Fiorini Landscape, 284 A.D.2d 313; Murphy v. M.B. Real Estate Dev. Corp., 280 A.D.2d 457).

FLORIO, J.P., SMITH, LUCIANO and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
