The People introduced overwhelming evidence establishing that defendant maintained dominion and control over the apartment in question and exercised constructive possession of the various contraband recovered therein. This included evidence of defendant's residence and presence in the apartment, his possession of keys fitting the front door locks, and his conduct of a prior drug transaction in the apartment wherein he directed a cohort to make a sale to an undercover officer.
The People provided ample assurance as to the identity and unchanged condition of the items introduced into evidence. Any defects in the chain of custody went to the weight of the evidence, not its admissibility ( People v Julian, 41 NY2d 340, 342-343; People v Flocker, 223 AD2d 451, lv denied 88 NY2d 847).
Defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
