Opinion

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Manuel J. Mendez, J.), entered September 9, 2013, which denied defendant/third-party defendant-appellant Enviro & Demo Masters, Inc.'s (Enviro) motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims and cross claims asserted against it, unanimously affirmed, without costs.Enviro's motion for summary judgment is premature, given that the issues raised require further discovery, which has not yet been completed (see Ross v. Curtis–Palmer Hydro–Elec. Co., 81 N.Y.2d 494, 506, 601 N.Y.S.2d 49, 618 N.E.2d 82 [1993] ; Blech v. West Park Presbyt. Church, 97 A.D.3d 443, 443, 948 N.Y.S.2d 273 [1st Dept.2012] ). In any event, the submissions raise triable issues of fact, precluding summary judgment.

TOM, J.P., FRIEDMAN, FEINMAN, GISCHE, KAPNICK, JJ., concur.
