DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, that branch of the motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against the appellant is granted, and the action is dismissed in its entirety.
The injured plaintiff allegedly slipped and fell on ice in her employer's parking lot. She and her husband subsequently commenced this action against, among others, the appellant, which had a contract with the employer to provide snow removal services.
The appellant did not assume a duty to exercise reasonable care to prevent foreseeable harm to the injured plaintiff by virtue of its snow removal contract with her employer. Its limited contractual undertaking was not a comprehensive and exclusive property maintenance obligation intended to displace the employer's duty as a landowner to safely maintain the property (see, Bugiada v. Iko, 274 A.D.2d 368 [decided herewith]; Riekers v. Gold Coast Plaza, 255 A.D.2d 373; Girardi v. Bank of N. Y. Co., 249 A.D.2d 43; Boskey v. Gazza Props., 248 A.D.2d 344; Autrino v. Hausrath's Landscape Maintenance, 231 A.D.2d 943; Bourk v. National Cleaning, 174 A.D.2d 827). There is no evidence that the injured plaintiff detrimentally relied on the appellant's performance (see, Riekers v. Gold Coast Plaza, supra; Miranti v. Brightwaters Racquet Spa, 246 A.D.2d 518; Downes v. Equitable Life Assur. Socy. of U.S., 209 A.D.2d 769), or that the appellant's actions "had otherwise `advanced to such a point as to have launched a force or instrument of harm'" (Bourk v. National Cleaning, supra, at 828, quoting Moch Co. v. Rensselaer Water Co., 247 N.Y. 160, 168; see, Riekers v. Gold Coast Plaza, supra; Miranti v. Brightwaters Racquet Spa, supra). Further, the plaintiffs' assertion that the appellant created or exacerbated a hazardous condition does not provide a basis for liability in this case (see, Riekers v. Gold Coast Plaza, supra; Girardi v. Bank of N.Y. Co., supra; Boskey v. Gazza Props., supra; but see, Genen v. Metro-North Commuter R. R., 261 A.D.2d 211). Consequently, the Supreme Court erred in denying summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against the appellant.
In light of our determination, it is unnecessary to address the appellant's remaining contention that it had no actual or constructive notice of the icy condition.
