Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.
In this slip and fall case, the defendant made a prima facie showing of its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by presenting proof that it did not create, or have actual or constructive notice of, the defective condition which allegedly caused the plaintiff to fall ( see, Robinson v. Lupo, 261 A.D.2d 525; Wauters v. Shop Rite, 244 A.D.2d 404; see also, Piacquadio v. Recine Realty Corp., 84 N.Y.2d 967). To constitute constructive notice, "a defect must be visible and apparent and it must exist for a sufficient length of time prior to the accident to permit defendant's employees to discover and remedy it" ( Gordon v. American Museum of Natural History, 67 N.Y.2d 836, 837; see also, Wauters v. Shop Rite, supra). Since the plaintiff failed to proffer any evidence that the defendant had actual or constructive notice of the wet floor on which he fell, or had created the alleged dangerous condition, the Supreme Court should have granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment ( see, Smith v. May Dept. Store Co., 270 A.D.2d 870; O'Rourke v. Williamson, Picket, Gross, 260 A.D.2d 260; Alatief v. New York City Tr. Auth., 256 A.D.2d 371; Puryear v. New York City Hous. Auth., 255 A.D.2d 138; Negron v. St. Patrick's Nursing Home, 248 A.D.2d 687; Maguire v. Southland Corp., 245 A.D.2d 347).
