CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE OF RUSTED CONDITION OF STAIRCASE WHICH COLLAPSED DEMONSTRATED WITH PHOTOGRAPHS, PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT PROPERLY GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in this staircase collapse case was properly granted. Plantiff demonstrated the defendant had constructive notice of the rusted condition of the staircase:

Plaintiff, a handyman employed by defendant’s managing agent, was injured when the landing of a metal staircase in the sub-basement of defendant’s building collapsed under him, causing him to fall about 20 feet to the cement floor below. Plaintiff established prima facie that defendant had constructive notice of the defective condition of the stairs by submitting photographs showing the staircase covered in rust, and evidence that defendant had no program of inspection for the staircase and had never inspected it in the 27 years preceding the accident … . Conklin v 500-512 Seventh Ave., LP, LLC, 2018 NY Slip Op 01437, First Dept 3-6-18
