BUILDING OWNER, MANAGER, AND ELEVATOR MAINTENANCE COMPANY ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS ELEVATOR MISLEVELING SLIP AND FALL CASE, NO NOTICE OF THE CONDITION (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the building owner’s, building manager’s and elevator maintenance company’s motions for summary judgment were properly granted in this elevator misleveling slip and fall case. The defendants demonstrated they did not have notice of the misleveling:

​

A property owner can be held liable for an elevator-related injury where there is a defect in the elevator, and the property owner has actual or constructive notice of the defect … , or where it fails to notify the elevator company with which it has a maintenance and repair contract about a known defect… . “An elevator company which agrees to maintain an elevator in safe operating condition can also be held liable to an injured passenger for failure to correct conditions of which it has knowledge or failure to use reasonable care to discover and correct a condition which it ought to have found'” … . Goodwin v Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am., 2017 NY Slip Op 08814, Second Dept 12-20-17
