MICHELLE MORINIA, an Infant, by Her Mother and Natural Guardian, MICHELLE MORINIA, Respondent, v. NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs;

The infant plaintiff sustained severe burns on her left arm when she came into contact with an exposed steam pipe in her living room.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the verdict as to liability was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, Nicastro v. Park, 113 A.D.2d 129). Further, the court did not err by admitting into evidence a photograph of the plaintiff's arm, which assisted the jury in assessing the extent of her injury ( see, Gallo v. Supermarkets Gen. Corp., 112 A.D.2d 345, 348; Caprara v. Chrysler Corp., 71 A.D.2d 515, 522, affd 52 N.Y.2d 114).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.

Ritter, J.P., Goldstein, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
