DEFENDANTS IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE DID NOT DEMONSTRATE WHEN THE AREA WAS LAST CLEANED OR INSPECTED, DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court determined defendants did not demonstrate when the area where plaintiff slipped and fell had last been inspected or cleaned and did not demonstrate the handrail was not defective:

… [T]he defendants failed to establish, prima facie, that they did not have constructive notice of the alleged hazardous conditions. While the deposition testimony of the premises’ porter and an affidavit of its superintendent, submitted by the defendants in support of their motion, demonstrated that the porter and the superintendent inspected and cleaned the premises on a regular basis, the defendants failed to present evidence of when the specific area where the plaintiff fell was last cleaned or inspected before the accident … . Quinones v Starret City, Inc., 2018 NY Slip Op 05510, Second Dept 7-25-18
