Avaho Industries, Inc., Respondent, v Le Sannom Building Corp., Appellant, et al., Defendants.
   Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Karla Moskowitz, J.), entered November 1, 1990, which, inter alia, denied defendant-appellant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Plaintiff, a subcontractor, brings this action to foreclose its mechanic’s lien for material and services. Defendant-appellant, the owner of the premises, moved for summary judgment pursuant to CPLR 3212, dismissing the complaint as against it, on the ground that plaintiff failed to meet a condition precedent to recovery on the underlying construction contract, since plaintiff had not installed the exhaust fans specified in the contract. The motion was denied. We agree that issues of fact exist, inter alia, as to whether the parties treated plaintiffs performance of the contract as complete. Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Rosenberger, Kupferman, Ross and Smith, JJ.
