AMINA FAIZ, Appellant, v. CITY OF NEW YORK, Defendant, and GEORGE TRIMIS, Respondent.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The plaintiff failed to produce any evidence at trial to make the requisite showing that the defendant George Trimis created or exacerbated a hazardous snow and ice condition on the sidewalk abutting his premises. Indeed, the plaintiff herself testified that the area of snow and ice where she fell had not been shoveled, sanded, or salted, and Trimis similarly stated that a photograph of the area indicated that it had not been shoveled. Based on the foregoing evidence, the jury could not have rationally found in favor of the plaintiff and against Trimis ( see generally, McCloud v. Marcantonio, 106 A.D.2d 493), and Trimis was entitled to the dismissal of the complaint insofar as asserted against him ( see, Roark v. Hunting, 24 N.Y.2d 470; Stewart v. Yeshiva Nachlas Haleviym, 186 A.D.2d 731).

O'Brien, J. P., Thompson, Sullivan and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
