DEFENDANT DEMONSTRATED IT TOOK ADEQUATE MEASURES TO KEEP THE FLOOR DRY, DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant demonstrated it took adequate measures to keep the floor free of water and the area where plaintiff fell was inspected ten minutes before the slip and fall. Defendant Roza 14W’s motion for summary judgment should have been granted:

​

Plaintiff Frank Kelly was allegedly injured when he slipped and fell on water on the marble floor in the lobby of Roza 14W’s building. It was snowing lightly at the time of the accident and the floor had mats in various locations, but not in the area where plaintiff slipped.

Roza 14W made a prima facie showing that a reasonable cleaning routine was followed on the day of the accident … . Roza 14W submitted evidence that, in addition to the mats, wet floor warning signs were placed in the lobby, two porters were assigned to walk around the lobby to dry mop wet areas, and the area where plaintiff fell was found to be clean and dry 10 minutes before the fall.

Plaintiffs failed to submit evidence sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact. Roza 14W was not obligated to either continuously mop up moisture tracked onto its floor… or to cover the entire floor with mats … . In addition, the affidavit of plaintiffs’ expert failed to cite any violation of an accepted industry practice, standard, code, or regulation …. . Kelly v Roza 14W LLC, 2017 NY Slip Op 06630, First Dept 9-26-17
