GABRIELLE FLEMING, etc., et al., respondents-appellants, v. NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, appellant-respondent.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the cross appeal is dismissed, for failure to perfect the same in accordance with the rules of this court ( see, 22 NYCRR 670.8[c], [e]); and it is further,

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed; and it is further,

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from; and it is further,

ORDERED that the plaintiffs are awarded one bill of costs.

The infant plaintiff sustained severe burns to her face and chest resulting in permanent scarring when she came into contact with an exposed steam pipe in her bedroom. Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the plaintiffs adduced sufficient evidence from which a jury could rationally conclude that the defendant was negligent in failing to insulate the steam pipe ( see, Cohen v. Hallmark Cards, 45 N.Y.2d 493). Moreover, upon our review of the record, we find that the verdict is based upon a fair interpretation of the evidence ( see, Brown v. New York City Hous. Auth., 250 A.D.2d 719; Morinia v. New York City Hous. Auth., 250 A.D.2d 657; Nicastro v. Park, 113 A.D.2d 129).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit or do not require reversal.
