We already held in Heartland Brewery, Inc. v Nova Cas. Co. (149 A.D.3d 522 [1st Dept 2017]) that the provision at issue on this appeal is ambiguous. In such a situation, "the parties may submit extrinsic evidence as an aid in construction, and the resolution of the ambiguity is for the trier of fact" (State of New York v Home Indem. Co., 66 N.Y.2d 669, 671 [1985] [citation omitted]).
