THERE IS A QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER DEFENDANTS HAD CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE OF THE WORN STEP IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE; DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

… [T]he affidavit of plaintiff’s expert and the photographic evidence were sufficient to raise an issue of fact as to constructive notice. The expert opined that the condition depicted in the photographs violated the Building Code and that the step was worn for several years prior to the accident. Furthermore, the photographs depicted a condition that a jury might find was present for a sufficient time for defendants to have discovered and remedied it … . Martinez v 560-568 Audubon Realty LLC, 2021 NY Slip Op 04277, First Dept 7-8-21
