Slip and Fall on a Sloped, Grassy Area Not Actionable

The Second Department determined summary judgment was properly granted to the defendant in a slip and fall case. The plaintiff alleged she slipped and fell on a sloped, grassy area on defendant’s property. The court held that the condition was “open and obvious and not inherently dangerous.” Correnti v Chinchilla, 2015 NY Slip Op 06878, 2nd Dept 9–23-15
