EVIDENCE OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF THE PARKING LOT WHERE PLAINTIFF ALLEGEDLY FELL, I.E. EVIDENCE OF HABIT, PROPERLY ADMITTED IN THIS ICE AND SNOW SLIP AND FALL CASE (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined evidence of routine maintenance of the parking lot, essentially evidence habit, was properly admitted in this slip and fall case which resulted in a defense verdict:

… [P]laintiff appeals from an order that, inter alia, denied that part of his pretrial motion seeking to preclude habit evidence. …

” Proof of a deliberate repetitive practice by one in complete control of the circumstances’ is admissible provided that the party presenting such proof demonstrates a sufficient number of instances of the conduct in question’ ” … . Here, the testimony of the maintenance staff concerning their daily routine in maintaining the subject parking lot was properly admitted as evidence of their conduct prior to the incident at issue. Rozier v BTNH, Inc., 2018 NY Slip Op 07575, Fourth Dept 11-9-18
