Property Was Not Transferred Until Escrow Conditions Were Met—Appellant Did Not Own the Building Where Plaintiff Slipped and Fell Because the Escrow Conditions Were Not Met and the Deed Was Not Released from Escrow Until the Day After the Slip and Fall

Reversing Supreme Court, the Second Department determined appellant did not own the property on the day plaintiff slipped and fell. The “preclosing” on the sale of the property to appellant took place on the day of the accident. But the deed was held in escrow until the escrow conditions were met on the day following the accident. Therefore the property was not transferred to the appellant until the day after the accident:

“When a deed is delivered to be held in escrow, the actual transfer of the property does not occur until the condition of the escrow is satisfied and the deed is subsequently delivered to the grantee by the escrow agent”… . Here, the appellant established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by submitting proof that the actual transfer of the property to the appellant did not occur until the conditions of the escrow were satisfied and the deed was thereafter released by the escrow agent on [the day after the accident]. As a result, the appellant demonstrated that it did not own or otherwise control the subject property on the date of the plaintiff’s alleged accident … .
