Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Bonnie G. Wittner, J.), rendered December 19, 2016, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of burglary in the second degree and sentencing him, as a persistent violent felony offender, to a term of 16 years to life, unanimously affirmed. The court properly declined to submit criminal trespass as a lesser included offense, because there was no reasonable view of the evidence, viewed most favorably to defendant, that he unlawfully entered the building at issue without intent to commit a crime (see e.g. People v. Amaya, 103 A.D.3d 568, 961 N.Y.S.2d 45 [1st Dept. 2013], lv denied 21 N.Y.3d 941, 968 N.Y.S.2d 3, 990 N.E.2d 137 [2013] ).
