[*1] Candida Duverge, Plaintiff-Respondent,

v

Washfield Management, et al., Defendants-Appellants.




Epstein Gialleonardo & Rayhill, Elmsford (Jonathan R. Walsh of counsel), for appellants.

Marder, Eskesen & Nass, New York (Clifford D. Gabel of counsel), for respondent.



Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Alison Y. Tuitt, J.), entered October 22, 2013, which denied defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The tenant of the apartment at issue testified that defendants' superintendent was told about and shown the defective condition of the tiles on which plaintiff tripped, but repeatedly

refused requests to repair the floor. Defendants' denial of any such knowledge merely raises triable issues of fact.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
