Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Wilma Guzman, J.), entered on or about June 15, 2021, which denied defendant Union Mutual Fire Insurance Company's motion for summary judgment, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court correctly denied Union Mutual's motion for summary judgment with leave to renew upon the completion of discovery. Union Mutual failed to establish, as a matter of law, either that the insured made false statements in its insurance application or that the alleged misrepresentations were material (see Kiss Constr. NY, Inc. v Rutgers Cas. Ins. Co., 61 AD3d 412, 413 [1st Dept 2009]). The affidavit relied upon by Union Mutual to establish that it would not have issued the policies if the insured had not made the alleged misrepresentations was conclusory, and insufficient to establish materiality (see Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's London v Bioenergy Dev. Group, LLC, 189 AD3d 573, 575 [1st Dept 2020]; Feldman v Friedman, 241 AD2d 433, 434 [1st Dept 1997]).

In any event, in opposition to Union Mutual's motion for summary judgment, plaintiff raised triable issues of fact as to whether Union Mutual waived its right to rescind the policy (see generally United States Life Ins. Co. in the City of N.Y. v Blumenfeld, 92 AD3d 487, 488 [1st Dept 2012]). Concur—Mazzarelli, J.P., Oing, Moulton, González, Kennedy, JJ. [Prior Case History: 2021 NY Slip Op 31948(U).]
