Opinion Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Kenneth L. Thompson, Jr., J.), entered on or about March 20, 2013, which, in an action for personal injuries sustained when plaintiff allegedly slipped on a marble step tread as he descended the stairs in defendants' building, granted defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The worn marble edge of the step on which plaintiff allegedly slipped is not an actionable defect (see DiPini v. 381 E. 160 Equities LLC, 121 A.D.3d 465, 994 N.Y.S.2d 101 [1st Dept.2014] ; Richards v. Kahn's
Realty Corp., 114 A.D.3d 475, 979 N.Y.S.2d 595 [1st Dept.2014] ). Notably, plaintiff denied that any debris on the step caused his fall, and the photographs did not reveal any major defects (see Cintron v. New York City Tr. Auth., 77 A.D.3d 410, 411, 908 N.Y.S.2d 190 [1st Dept.2010] ).
We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
