Leonicia Vargas et al., Appellants, v Riverbay Corp., Respondent.
    [67 NYS3d 467]
   Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lizbeth González, J.), entered June 13, 2016, which granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and the motion denied.

In this slip and fall action, defendant sought to demonstrate its entitlement to summary judgment by merely pointing to perceived gaps in plaintiffs’ case (see e.g. Colt v Great Atl. & Pac. Tea Co., 209 AD2d 294, 295 [1st Dept 1994]). Defendant failed to establish its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating when the area in question was last cleaned or inspected relative to the time when plaintiff fell (see Cater v Double Down Realty Corp., 101 AD3d 506 [1st Dept 2012]).

We have considered the parties’ remaining arguments and find them unavailing.

Concur—Friedman, J.P., Gische, Maz-zarelli, Kern, Singh, JJ.
