FAILURE TO DEMONSTRATE WHEN AREA WAS LAST CLEANED OR INSPECTED REQUIRED DENIAL OF DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE.

The Second Department determined defendant's motion for summary judgment in a slip and fall case was properly denied. The defendant failed to demonstrate when the area was last cleaned and inspected. Evidence of routine maintenance is not enough:

Here, although the defendant's evening maintenance employee testified at his deposition about his regular cleaning routine for the building, he had no independent recollection of having cleaned the floor in question on the date of the plaintiff's accident. Furthermore, no deposition testimony was provided describing the condition of the floor in question on the date of the accident, including whether the maintenance employee had observed a water condition upon it. Since the defendant did not submit evidence regarding any specific inspection or cleaning of the area on the date of the accident, the defendant failed to establish that it did not have constructive notice of the alleged dangerous condition … . The defendant's submissions also failed to eliminate all triable issues of fact as to whether it created the alleged dangerous condition … . Ansari v MB Hamptons, LLC, 2016 NY Slip Op 02305, 2nd Dept 3-30-16
