LUIS NEGRON et al., Respondents, v. ST. PATRICK'S NURSING HOME, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the motion is granted, and the complaint is dismissed.

The plaintiff Luis Negron alleged that he was injured when, while making a delivery, he slipped and fell on water on the floor by an entranceway of the defendant nursing home. The injured plaintiff admitted that he tracked rain water into the building with his boots as he made several trips in and out of the premises. In opposition to the prima facie case proffered by the defendant in support of its motion for summary judgment, the plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the defendant either created the dangerous condition which caused the accident or had a reasonable time within which to remedy such condition after alleged notice (see, Gordon v. American Museum of Natural History, 67 N.Y.2d 836; Negri v. Stop Shop, 65 N.Y.2d 625; Bernard v. Waldbaum, Inc., 232 A.D.2d 596). Moreover, the defendant was not required to cover all of its floors with mats, nor to continuously mop up all moisture resulting from tracked-in rain (see, Miller v. Gimbel Bros., 262 N.Y. 107; Kovelsky v. City Univ., 221 A.D.2d 234).

Mangano, P. J., Miller, Pizzuto and Krausman, JJ., concur.
