    Xiang Fu He, Respondent, v Troon Management, Inc., et al., Appellants. (And a Third-Party Action.)
    [66 NYS3d 884]
   Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol R. Edmead, J.), entered June 23, 2016, which denied defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and the motion granted. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly.

Defendants cannot be held liable for injuries allegedly sustained by plaintiff when he slipped on snow and ice on the sidewalk adjacent to their property, because they were out-of-possession landlords with no contractual obligation to keep the sidewalks clear of snow and ice, and the presence of snow and ice does not constitute a significant structural or design defect (Bing v 296 Third Ave. Group, L.P., 94 AD3d 413 [1st Dept 2012], lv denied 19 NY3d 815 [2012]; accord Cepeda v KRF Realty LLC, 148 AD3d 512 [1st Dept 2017]).
