QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER SIDEWALK LOW-LYING TRIPPING HAZARD NARROWED THE PASSABLE AREA AND WAS VISIBLE AT NIGHT.

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined there were triable issues of fact whether a sidewalk defect narrowed the passable area and whether the defect was visible at night:

… [T]he owner and property manager of the premises that abutted a sidewalk where plaintiff Alison Stolzman tripped, established prima facie entitlement to summary judgement based on the testimony and photographic evidence indicating the alleged hazard was open and obvious and not inherently dangerous … .

However, there remain triable issues as to whether the alleged low-lying tripping condition dangerously narrowed the passable area of the sidewalk and was adequately visible at night … . Stolzman v City of New York, 2017 NY Slip Op 00247, 1st Dept 1-12-17
