DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The defendant, Bruce A. Geiger, is the owner of a two-family house in Red Hook, New York, which he leased to the injured plaintiff's employer. At his examination before trial, Geiger testified that the house was pre-fabricated and delivered to the site in pieces, but that he assembled and finished it himself. The injured plaintiff testified that she fell down an interior flight of stairs as a result of a defect within the staircase. Under these circumstances, there is a question of fact as to whether Geiger created the condition which caused the injured plaintiff's fall. Consequently, the Supreme Court properly denied his motion for summary judgment (see, Henness v. Lusins, 229 A.D.2d 873 ; Downey v. R. W. Garraghan, Inc., 198 A.D.2d 570 ; see also, Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557 ; Ribacoff v. City of Mount Vernon, 251 A.D.2d 482 ).
