ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
"It is well settled that in order for a landlord to be held liable for injuries resulting from a defective condition upon the premises, the plaintiff must establish that the landlord had actual or constructive notice of the condition for such a period of time that, in the exercise of reasonable care, it should have been corrected" (Juarez v. Wavecrest Mgt. Team, 88 N.Y.2d 628, 646). The defendants received notice of the hazardous lead paint condition almost one year before the infant plaintiff returned to the premises and experienced a second hospitalization for elevated blood lead levels. Therefore, there are issues of fact regarding whether the defendants took reasonable steps to abate the condition (see, Perez v. Ward, 271 A.D.2d 590), and whether the dramatic increase in the infant plaintiff's blood lead levels was caused by exposure to lead following her return to the subject premises.
