Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
On January 12, 1990, the plaintiff suffered injuries when he slipped and fell on water that was on the floor near a water fountain at Dewey Junior High School in Brooklyn. There was evidence adduced at trial that water spilling from the water fountain was a recurring problem of which the defendant was aware. The jury, therefore, properly concluded that the defendant had constructive notice of the condition that caused the plaintiff's injuries (see, Hirschman v City of New York, 193 A.D.2d 581; Weisenthal v Pickman, 153 A.D.2d 849). Balletta, J.P., O'Brien, Santucci and Florio, JJ., concur.
