4 ½ Inch Drop Raised Question of Fact About Dangerous Condition and Failure to Warn

The Fourth Department determined a 4 ½ inch drop just inside the entrance to a bowling alley raised a question of fact about whether the drop was a dangerous condition, even though no building codes applied.  In addition, there was a question of fact about the failure-to-warn cause of action.  Belsinger v M & M Bowling & Trophy Supplies, Inc, 558, 4th Dept 7-5-13
