    Robin E. Bellassai et al., Appellants, v Roberts Wesleyan College, Respondent and Third-Party Plaintiff. Sodexho Marriott Management, Inc., Third-Party Defendant-Respondent.
    [872 NYS2d 842]
   Appeal from an order and judgment (one paper) of the Supreme Court, Monroe County (Thomas A. Stander, J.), entered August 22, 2007 in a personal injury action. The order and judgment granted the motions of defendant and third-party defendant for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint.

It is hereby ordered that the order and judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: Plaintiffs commenced this action to recover damages for injuries sustained by Robin E. Bellassai (plaintiff), an employee of third-party defendant, when she slipped and fell on the wet floor of a dining hall on defendant’s campus. We conclude that Supreme Court properly granted the motion of defendant, joined in by third-party defendant, for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Those parties met their “ ‘burden of establishing that [defendant] did not create the dangerous condition that caused plaintiff to fall and did not have actual or constructive notice thereof ” (Wesolek v Jumping Cow Enters., Inc., 51 AD3d 1376, 1377 [2008]; see generally Fasolino v Charming Stores, 77 NY2d 847 [1991]; Gordon v American Museum of Natural History, 67 NY2d 836, 837-838 [1986]). “Plaintiffs’ speculation with respect to the source of the [wetness] and the length of time it was on the floor is insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact” to defeat the motions (Anthony v Wegmans Food Mkts., Inc., 11 AD3d 953, 954 [2004]). Further, defendant’s alleged “ ‘general awareness’ that a dangerous condition may be present [on the floor in the area of plaintiff’s fall] is legally insufficient to constitute notice of the particular condition that caused plaintiffs fall” (Piacquadio v Recine Realty Corp., 84 NY2d 967, 969 [1994]; see generally Gallais-Pradal v YWCA of Brooklyn, 33 AD3d 660 [2006]; Palermo v Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, N.Y., 20 AD3d 516 [2005]). For the same reason, there is no merit to plaintiffs’ further contention that a prior lawsuit concerning a slip-and-fall allegedly caused by wetness in a different portion of the dining hall several years before plaintiff’s accident was sufficient to provide notice of the condition at issue in this case.
