Not Enough Time Passed to Invoke Constructive Notice of Icy Condition Under “Storm Progress Rule”

The Second Department reversed Supreme Court and granted summary judgment to the defendant in a slip and fall case. The court determined not enough time elapsed to invoke constructive notice of the icy condition under the “storm progress rule:”

“A defendant may be held liable for a dangerous condition on its premises caused by the accumulation of snow or ice upon a showing that it had actual or constructive notice of the condition, and that a reasonably sufficient time had lapsed since the cessation of the storm to take protective measures” … . “Under the storm in progress’ rule, a property owner will not be held liable for accidents occurring as a result of the accumulation of snow or ice on its premises until an adequate period of time has passed following the cessation of the storm, within which time the owner has the opportunity to ameliorate the hazards caused by the storm” … . McCurdy v KYMA Holdings, LLC, 2013 NY Slip Op 05802, 2nd Dept 9-11-13
