—In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants separately appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Phelan, J.), entered January 4, 2002, which denied their respective motions for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and all cross claims insofar as asserted against them.
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with one bill of costs, the motions are granted, and the complaint is dismissed.
The plaintiff was robbed and assaulted in a parking garage jointly operated by the defendants. An owner or possessor of real property is obligated to take reasonable precautionary measures to minimize the risks of criminal acts and to make the premises safe for visitors (see Nallan v Helmsley-Spear, Inc., 50 NY2d 507 , 519-521; Alonso v Branchinelli, 277 AD2d 408 ; Novikova v Greenbriar Owners Corp., 258 AD2d 149 ; Dillman v Bohemian Citizens Benevolent Socy., 227 AD2d 434 , 435). Contrary to the plaintiffs contention, his submission in opposition to the motions, after the defendants established their prima facie entitlement to summary judgment, failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the defendants knew
