April 13, 2000.

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals from an order and judgment (one paper) of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Winick, J.), dated June 1, 1999, which granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint.

Elovich Adell, Long Beach, N.Y. (Lawrence E. Elovich, A. Trudy Adell, and Mitchell Sommer of counsel), for appellant.

Fishman Tynan, Merrick, N.Y. (John Fishman of counsel), for respondent.

CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, J.P., THOMAS R. SULLIVAN, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order and judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment. The defendant established a prima facie case that she neither created nor had actual or constructive notice of the defective condition which allegedly caused the plaintiff's injuries (see, Dima v. Breslin Realty, 240 A.D.2d 359 ; Ferris v. County of Suffolk, 174 A.D.2d 70 ). The plaintiff's evidence in opposition to the motion consisted, inter alia, of photographs and a conclusory affidavit of a private investigator who inspected the walkway on the defendant's premises where the accident occurred, and was insufficient to raise a triable question of fact on this issue.

The plaintiff's remaining contention is without merit.
