ORDERED that the judgment is modified, on the law and as an exercise of discretion, by deleting the provisions thereof awarding damages to the plaintiff Jacqueline Padilla for past and future pain and suffering, future medical expenses, and future psychological expenses, and a new trial is granted with respect to those items only; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed, with costs, unless within 30 days after service upon her of a copy of this decision and order, with notice of entry, the plaintiff Jacqueline Padilla shall serve and file in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Kings County, a written stipulation consenting to decrease the verdict as to damages for past pain and suffering from $300,000 to $150,000, for future pain and suffering from $1,500,000 to $450,000, for future medical expenses from $400,000 to $250,000, and for future psychological expenses from $250,000 to $0, and to the entry of an amended judgment in her favor accordingly; in the event that the plaintiff Jacqueline Padilla so stipulates, then the judgment, as so reduced and amended, is affirmed, without costs or disbursements. Contrary to the appellant's contention, the record fails to demonstrate that the occasional examination of the witnesses by the trial court, to which the defense counsel never objected, deprived it of a fair trial (cf., Papa v. City of New York, 194 A.D.2d 527).
The record contains evidence from which a rational jury could find that the subject apartment contained a lead paint hazard, that the appellant was on notice of this condition, and that the condition caused the infant plaintiff's injuries (see, Cohen v. Hallmark Cards, 45 N.Y.2d 493). Moreover, the verdict in the plaintiffs' favor was not against the weight of the credible evidence (see, Nicastro v. Park, 113 A.D.2d 129).
The damage awards were excessive to the extent indicated (see, CPLR 5501[c]; Hiraldo v. Khan, 267 A.D.2d 205).
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
