ALTHOUGH DEFENDANTS WERE ENTITLED TO EXEMPTION FROM SNOW-ICE SIDEWALK-FALL LIABILITY UNDER THE NYC ADMINISTRATIVE LAW, THEY DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THE HAZARD WAS NOT CREATED BY THEIR SNOW REMOVAL EFFORTS, SUMMARY JUDGMENT PROPERLY DENIED.

The Second Department determined defendants’ summary judgment motion in this ice/snow sidewalk slip and fall action was properly denied. Although the defendants demonstrated they were entitled to NYC’s exemption from liability for owners of one, two and three family residences, they did not demonstrate they did not create the dangerous condition by their snow removal efforts:

Here, the defendants established, prima facie, that as owners of a two-family residential property which was owner occupied, they were exempt from liability pursuant to section 7-210(b) of the Administrative Code … . The defendants failed, however, to establish, prima facie, that they did not engage in snow and ice removal work prior to the accident or that their snow and ice removal work did not create or exacerbate the hazardous condition which allegedly caused the plaintiff to fall … . Ming Hsia v Valle, 2017 NY Slip Op 01193, 2nd Dept 2-15-17
