LINDEN TOWERS COOPERATIVE #4, INC., APPELLANT, v. CITY OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The defendant established, prima facie, its entitlement to summary judgment. In response, the plaintiff failed to raise an issue of fact that the flooding that damaged its property was the result of the defendant's negligence. Evidence of flooding caused by the backflow of a sewer system, standing alone, is insufficient to maintain an action against a municipality to recover damages for injury to property ( see, Smith v. Mayor of City of N.Y., 66 N.Y. 295, 296-297; Biernacki v. Village of Ravena, 245 A.D.2d 656, 657).
