DEFENDANTS DEMONSTRATED THEY HAD NO NOTICE OF THE FORMATION OF ICE IN THE PARKING LOT WHERE PLAINTIFF FELL, BECAUSE PLAINTIFF DID NOT ALLEGE THE ICE WAS A RECURRING CONDITION DEFENDANTS DID NOT NEED TO PRESENT PROOF THAT IT WAS NOT A RECURRING CONDITION, DEFENDANTS ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, over a dissent, determined defendants were entitled to summary judgment in this parking lot slip and fall case. Defendants demonstrated they did not have notice that water pooled in the parking lot in the area where plaintiff allegedly fell on ice. The dissent argued that defendants did not demonstrate the formation of ice was not a recurring condition. The majority held that, because plaintiff did not allege the ice was a recurring condition, defendants did not have to present evidence on the issue:

The evidence submitted by the defendants in support of their motion established, prima facie, that they did not create the alleged black ice condition or have actual or constructive notice of it … . In particular, Picone’s [Picone worked at the property] statement in his affidavit that water did not pond in the parking lot during the 38 years he worked at the property necessarily addresses and excludes any recurring condition in the same lot. In opposition to the prima facie showing, the plaintiff failed to submit evidence sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the defendants created the alleged condition or had actual or constructive notice of it. …

… .[T]he plaintiff failed to allege the existence of a recurring condition at the specific site of her fall. Thus, the defendants had no obligation, in support of their motion for summary judgment, to address the issue of a recurring condition. Further, in opposition to the motion, the plaintiff failed to argue that any recurring condition was specific to the location within the parking lot where she is alleged to have fallen … . Bader v River Edge at Hastings Owners Corp., 2018 NY Slip Op 01588, Second Dept 3-14-18
