Lee v. Burger King
Opinion of the Court
Defendants did not demonstrate their entitlement to summary judgment, since their conflicting evidence failed to establish their lack of responsibility for the alleged hazardous grease condition on the public sidewalk and since their argument that other possible sources for the condition existed was properly rejected (see Bowry v Uptown Gift Shop, 292 AD2d 240 [2002]). In any event, plaintiff raised triable issues of fact with evidence from which a jury could infer that one, or more, of defendants created the alleged hazardous condition (see Vazquez v Santana, 291 AD2d 230 [2002]). Concur—Tom, J.P., Moskowitz, Acosta and Freedman, JJ.
