In order to constitute constructive notice, "a defect must be visible and apparent and it must exist for a sufficient length of time prior to the accident to permit defendant * * * to discover and remedy it" (Gordon v. American Museum of Natural History, 67 N.Y.2d 836, 837). Neither the injured plaintiff Regina Dombrower nor her husband, plaintiff Morris Dombrower, could identify the substance on which she slipped. Moreover, plaintiffs offered no testimony disclosing how long the allegedly slippery condition existed on the floor where the injured plaintiff fell. Therefore, there is no evidence to permit a finder of fact to infer, without speculating, that defendant had constructive notice of a dangerous condition (see, Joseph v. Chase Manhattan Bank, 277 A.D.2d 96;Pinto v. Little Fish Corp., 273 A.D.2d 63). Plaintiffs further claim that defendant created the unidentified condition on which the injured plaintiff slipped. That claim, however, is wholly speculative as it is unsupported by any evidence in the record, and therefore insufficient to defeat summary judgment (see, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557, 562; Smith v. Johnson Products, 95 A.D.2d 675, 676).
