DEFENDANTS DID NOT ELIMINATE ALL TRIABLE ISSUES OF FACT ABOUT CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE OF THE ICY CONDITION IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department determined defendants did not eliminate all trial issues of fact in this ice and snow slip and fall case. The defendants did not demonstrate when the area had last been cleared or inspected. The fact that the fall occurred in a restricted area was not determinative because defendants were aware the area was used by people and there were no signs instructing people not to use it:

Even if we agreed with defendants that they did not create the alleged dangerous condition, we conclude that defendants did not meet their initial moving burden inasmuch as their own proof failed to eliminate all triable issues of fact on the issue of constructive notice… .. In this regard, defendants’ proof, including the photographs, did not suffice to show when they last cleaned or inspected the area in question … . Additionally, even though the area where plaintiff slipped and fell was a restricted area, the record evidence shows that defendants were aware that people would cross through this area and there were no signs instructing people not to do so. Hurley v City of Glens Falls, 2018 NY Slip Op 02529, Third Dept 4-12-18
