Negligence

DEFENDANT’S FAILURE TO DEMONSTRATE WHEN AREA WHERE PLAINTIFF FELL WAS LAST INSPECTED OR CLEANED REQUIRED DENIAL OF DEFENSE SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION.

The First Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined the defendant YMCA's failure to demonstrate when the area where plaintiff fell had last been inspected or cleaned required denial of the YMCA's motion for summary judgment:

Plaintiff alleges that she slipped and fell on a puddle of water that was on the floor of a YMCA owned and maintained by defendants. The YMCA made a prima facie showing that it did not cause or create the alleged condition, because plaintiff testified that she did not see the YMCA's employees working at the accident location prior to the incident and did not know where the water came from … . The YMCA also made a prima facie showing that it lacked actual notice of the alleged condition, because the building engineer for the premises averred that he oversaw the maintenance of the premises and did not receive complaints about water on the floor prior to the accident … . However, the YMCA failed to make a prima facie showing that it lacked constructive notice of the alleged defect. The building engineer failed to aver as to when the YMCA's employees last cleaned or inspected the accident location before the incident occurred … . Graham v YMCA of Greater N.Y., 2016 NY Slip Op 01777, 1st Dept 3-15-16
