8716. ARELIE FLORES, AN INFANT BY HER MOTHER AND NATURAL GUARDIAN, SILVIA HERNANDEZ plf-res, v. CATHEDRAL PROPERTIES LLC def, 171 EAST 102ND LLC, def-ap — Gannon, Rosenfarb, Balletti & Drossman, New York (Lisa L. Gokhulsingh of counsel), for ap — The Frankel Law Firm, New York (Michael Stewart Frankel of counsel), for res — Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Norma Ruiz, J.), entered January 6, 2012, which, insofar as appealed from, in an action for personal injuries allegedly caused by lead-based paint, denied the motion of defendant 171 East 102nd LLC (171) for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and all cross claims as against it, with leave to renew upon completion of discovery, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and the motion granted. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly.

171 established its entitlement to judgment as a matter of law. 171 submitted evidence showing that it did not own the subject building until May 2009, which was approximately 10 years after the youngest infant plaintiff was allegedly injured and after all of the infant plaintiffs were over the age of seven (see Juarez v. Wavecrest Mgt. Team, 88 NY2d 628, 646-647 [1996]; Duarte v. Community Realty Corp., 42 AD3d 480 [2d Dept 2007]; see also Hanlan v. Parkchester N. Condominium, Inc., 32 AD3d 799 [1st Dept 2006]).
