MICHAEL C. LIBBY, an Infant, by His Father and Natural Guardian, HERBERT LIBBY, et al., Respondents, v. WALDBAUM'S INC., Appellant, et al., Defendants. (And Two Third-Party Actions.)

Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, the motion of the defendant Waldbaum's Inc. for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as it is asserted against it is granted, and the action against the remaining defendants is severed.

The infant plaintiff was injured while he was exploring the roof of a building that was under construction. It is well established that the imposition of liability for a dangerous condition on real property must be predicated upon occupancy, ownership, control, or special use of the premises (see, James v Stark, 183 A.D.2d 873; Balsam v. Delma Eng'g Corp., 139 A.D.2d 292). The appellant's evidence established that at the time of the accident, it did not occupy, own, control, or make special use of the construction site. Accordingly, because there exists no triable issue of fact, summary judgment should have been granted to the appellant. Balletta, J.P., Thompson, Santucci, Altman and Hart, JJ., concur.
