LAW OFFICES OF JOHN P. BARTOLOMEI & ASSOCIATES, NIAGARA FALLS (JOHN P. BARTOLOMEI OF COUNSEL), FOR PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT. SIEGEL, KELLEHER & KAHN, BUFFALO (STEVEN G. WISEMAN OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS.

Appeal from an order of Supreme Court, Niagara County (Lane, J.), entered November 3, 2000, which granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment. It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously reversed on the law without costs, the motion is denied and the complaint is reinstated. Memorandum: Supreme Court erred in granting defendants’ motion seeking summary judgment dismissing the complaint. In support of their motion, defendants asserted that they substantially performed their obligations under the contract at issue. Defendants failed, however, to establish that their failure to comply fully with the terms of the contract was “inadvertent or unintentional” or that “the defects [in their performance] were insubstantial” ( Sear-Brown Assocs. v Blackwatch Dev. Corp. , 112 AD2d 765; see, Hadden v Consolidated Edison Co. of N. Y. , 34 NY2d 88, 97, n 9) and thus failed to establish their entitlement to judgment as a matter of law ( see, Zuckerman v City of New York , 49 NY2d 557, 562).
