No civil action shall be brought or maintained
against the Village of Massapequa Park for damages or injuries to
person or property sustained in consequence of any street, highway,
bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk being defective, out of repair,
unsafe, dangerous or obstructed or in consequence of the existence
or accumulation of snow or ice upon any street, highway, bridge, culvert,
sidewalk or crosswalk unless written notice of the existence of such
condition, relating to the particular place, had theretofore actually
been given to the Board of Trustees of the Village of Massapequa Park
through its agent, the Village Administrator, and there had been a
failure or neglect on the part of said Village to cause such condition
to be corrected or such snow or ice to be removed or the place otherwise
made reasonably safe within a reasonable time after the receipt of
such notice.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall be
held to revive any claim or cause of action now barred by any existing
requirement or statute of limitations, nor to waive any existing limitation
now applicable to any claim or cause of action against the Village
of Massapequa Park.
