Opinion

April 9, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County, Hansel McGee, J.

Legally sufficient evidence of defendants' constructive notice of a dangerous condition was provided by the uncontroverted testimony at trial that the puddle in which plaintiffs slipped was 2 1/2 feet by 2 1/2 feet and was dirty with numerous footprints, both wet and dry, leading out of it in all directions ( see, Negri v. Stop Shop, 65 N.Y.2d 625; Catanzaro v. King Kullen Grocery Co., 194 A.D.2d 584).
