BANK’S MANAGER WAS AWARE OF ICE IN THE PARKING LOT, SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED, BANK DID NOT DEMONSTRATE A LACK OF CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE.

The Fourth Department determined defendant bank’s (HSBC’s) motion for summary judgment should not have been granted in this ice slip and fall case. The defendant bank’s manager testified he was aware of ice in the parking lot. Therefore the bank did not demonstrate a lack of constructive notice of the dangerous condition:

​

We agree with plaintiff, however, that the court erred in granting that part of the cross motion seeking dismissal of plaintiff’s claim against HSBC based on constructive notice, inasmuch as HSBC, by its own submissions, including in particular the deposition testimony of the HSBC branch manager, raised triable issues of fact in that regard … . The branch manager testified, inter alia, that he was aware on the morning of the accident that an ice advisory was in effect, that he remembered that it was icy that day, that he observed ice on the premises when he arrived at work and, with respect to the location of plaintiff’s accident, that he “was surprised plaintiff had parked there because of how visible the ice was.” That testimony alone warranted denial of the cross motion in part, inasmuch as it raised triable issues of fact with respect to constructive notice… . We therefore modify the order by denying the cross motion insofar as it sought dismissal of plaintiff’s claim based on constructive notice and reinstating that claim against HSBC.  Zazzaro v HSBC Bank USA, N.A., 2017 NY Slip Op 04607, 4th Dept 6-9-17
