[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Ardsley
9-19-77 by L.L. No. 6-1977. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No civil action shall be maintained against the Village of Ardsley or
any of its employees for damages or injuries to person or property sustained
by reason of any sidewalk, highway, bridge, culvert or other public property
of the Village of Ardsley being defective, out of repair, unsafe, dangerous
or obstructed unless written notice of such defective, unsafe, dangerous or
obstructed condition of such sidewalk, highway, bridge, culvert or other public
property of the Village of Ardsley was actually given to the Village Clerk,
and there was a failure or neglect within a reasonable time after the giving
of such notice to repair or remove the defect, danger or obstruction complained
of; but no such action shall be maintained for damages or injuries to person
or property sustained solely in consequence of the existence of snow or ice
upon any sidewalk, highway, bridge, culvert or other public property of the
Village of Ardsley, unless written notice thereof, specifying the particular
place, was actually given to the Village Clerk and there was a failure or
neglect to cause such snow or ice to be removed, or to make the place otherwise
reasonably safe within a reasonable time after the receipt of such notice.
All such written notices received by the Village of Ardsley shall be
forwarded to the Village Clerk or the Deputy Village Clerk within five days
of receipt.
