Plaintiffs did not alleged defendant created the dangerous condition and defendant demonstrated it did not have actual or constructive notice of the condition:

By submitting the deposition testimony of the director of the preschool and the injured plaintiff, the defendant established, prima facie, that it did not have actual or constructive notice of the alleged ice that caused the plaintiff to fall … . The preschool director testified that she entered the building through the rear entrance about 90 minutes prior to the incident, and she did not see any ice on the ground. The injured plaintiff testified that she did not see the ice before she fell. In opposition, the plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of fact. General awareness that snow or ice may be present during winter months was legally insufficient to constitute notice of the particular condition that caused the injured plaintiff’s fall … . Bombino-Munroe v Church of St. Bernard, 2018 NY Slip Op 05131, Second Dept 7-11-18
