Opinion

June 13, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Leone, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Under the circumstances of this case, we agree with the Supreme Court's conclusion that issues of fact exist warranting a jury's determination as to whether the defendant bank permitted an accumulation of ice and snow to remain on the steps of its branch office for an unreasonably long time prior to the plaintiff Ronald Minore's fall (see, Bordonaro v. Bank of Blasdell, 285 N.Y. 606; Mason v. Eagles Lodge, 30 A.D.2d 605; Zaccardo v. City of New York, 283 App. Div. 822). Bracken, J.P., Miller, Copertino and Hart, JJ., concur.
