THORN v. WILMORITE, INC

Order unanimously affirmed with costs.

Memorandum:

Supreme Court properly denied the motion of third-party defendant, K-Mart Corporation (K-Mart), for summary judgment dismissing the third-party complaint. There are triable issues of fact concerning whether the stacking of the tables constituted a dangerous condition ( see, Hanley v. Affronti, 278 A.D.2d 868 [decided Dec. 27, 2000]; Vanderwater v. Sears, 277 A.D.2d 1056 [decided Nov. 13, 2000]), whether the accident occurred on premises owned, occupied, controlled or specially used by K-Mart ( see, Siracuse v. Race Off. Equip. Co., 278 A.D.2d 894 [decided Dec. 27, 2000]; Brown v. Congel, 241 A.D.2d 880, 881), and whether K-Mart affirmatively created the allegedly dangerous condition or had actual or constructive notice of it ( see, Whyte v. Whyte, 259 A.D.2d 1009, 1009-1010; Tenebruso v. Toys "R" Us — NYTEX, 256 A.D.2d 1236, 1237; DiFusco v. Wal-Mart Discount Cities, 255 A.D.2d 937, 937-938).
