HEIGHT DIFFERENTIAL WAS NOT A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND WAS READILY OBSERVABLE, SLIP AND FALL ACTION PROPERLY DISMISSED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the difference in elevation which caused plaintiff to fall was not inherently dangerous and was readily observable:

… [T]he plaintiff, while walking on a walkway after parking his car at a lot located on the Citi Field complex in Queens, allegedly was injured within the defendants’ exterior grounds when he fell due to a difference in elevation between the walkway, which consisted of patio pavers, and an abutting tree bed … . …

… [T]here is no duty to protect or warn of conditions that are not inherently dangerous and that are readily observable by the reasonable use of one’s senses … . Here, the defendants established, prima facie, that the difference in elevation between the surface of the walkway and the surface of the tree bed was not inherently dangerous and was readily observable by the reasonable use of one’s senses … . Costidis v City of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 01901, Second Dept 3-21-18
