Fact that a Sidewalk Is Smooth (Inherently Slippery) or Slippery When Wet Is Not an Actionable Defect

The First Department noted that the facts that a sidewalk is inherently slippery because of its smoothness or that it is slippery when wet are not actionable defects:

The mere fact that a sidewalk is “inherently slippery” by reason of its smoothness or becomes more slippery when wet does not constitute an actionable defect … . Plaintiff’s expert’s finding lacked probative force and failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to the existence of a defective or dangerous condition in the absence of any assertion of a violation of a specific, applicable industry standard which contributed to the accident … .

* * *[Plaintiff’s] claim that granite constituted an “unapproved non-concrete material” is unsupported. Bock v Loumarita Realty Corp, 2014 NY Slip Op 04426, 1st Dept 6-17-14
