ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The defendant established its prima facie entitlement to summary judgment dismissing the complaint as the plaintiffs' deposition testimony failed to show that there was an unsafe condition on the stairs which was created by the defendant or of which it had actual or constructive notice (see, Marku v. 33 S P Realty Corp., 251 A.D.2d 633). In opposition, the plaintiffs submitted self-serving affidavits in an effort to show that the stairs where the injured plaintiff fell were covered with a soapy, slimy substance. These affidavits contradicted the plaintiffs' earlier deposition testimony. Thus, they presented a feigned factual issue designed to avoid the consequences of their earlier statements that the steps were merely damp and wet, and were insufficient to show the existence of a triable issue of fact (see, Nieves v. ISS Cleaning Servs. Group, 284 A.D.2d 441; Phillips v. Bronx Lebanon Hosp., 268 A.D.2d 318; Buziashvili v. Ryan, 264 A.D.2d 797; Prunty v. Keltie's Bum Steer, 163 A.D.2d 595).
The plaintiffs' remaining contention is without merit.
