Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Golden, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
To obtain a preliminary injunction, the movants must show a probability of success on the merits, danger of irreparable injury in the absence of an injunction, and a balance of the equities in their favor (see, Aetna Ins. Co. v. Capasso, 75 N.Y.2d 860, 862; Betancourt v. City of New York, 194 A.D.2d 759). Because the plaintiffs could be adequately compensated by money damages for any trespass to their property, they failed to show that they would suffer irreparable injury if the injunction were not granted in this case (see, McLaughlin, Piven, Vogel v. Nolan Co., 114 A.D.2d 165, 174). Thus, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the motion (see, Allmacher v. Digiacomo, 153 A.D.2d 651). Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Pizzuto and Altman, JJ., concur.
