Torres, J.), entered November 15, 2011, which granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

“A defendant who moves for summary judgment in a slip-and-fall action has the initial burden of making a prima facie demonstration that it neither created the hazardous condition, nor had actual or constructive notice of its existence” (Smith v. Costco Wholesale Corp., 50 AD3d 499, 500 [1st Dept 2008]). Upon such showing, the burden shifts to the party opposing the motion “to raise a triable issue of fact as to the creation of the defect or notice thereof” (Rodriguez v. 705-7 E. 179th St. Hous. Dev. Fund Corp., 79 AD3d 518, 519 [1st Dept 2010]).
