PLAINTIFF RAISED A QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER THE CITY CREATED THE ROAD CONDITION WHICH CAUSED HIS SLIP AND FALL; THE CITY’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Renwick, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff’s slip and fall action should not have been dismissed. Although the city demonstrated it did not have written notice of the condition, plaintiff raised a question of fact whether the city created the dangerous condition when it attempted road repair:

… [P]laintiff Nicholas Martin testified consistently — both at a hearing held pursuant to General Municipal Law § 50-H and a deposition — that on January 17, 2017, he slipped and fell on Seward Avenue, between Pugster Avenue and Olmtead Avenue. At the time, plaintiff lived on the same block where his accident occurred. He specified that he fell on the roadway in front of 2007 Seward Avenue. When shown photographs where his accident occurred, he stated that he fell on a square blacktop that contained loose gravel and was raised about one and one-half inches. He had noticed the condition about a month before his accident, when pavement work had been done. Although he did not see who did the road work, his girlfriend told him that the City had performed the work. Martin v City of New York, 2020 NY Slip Op 07503, First Dept 12-15-20
