sustained in consequence of any street, highway, bridge, culvert, sewer, sidewalk,
crosswalk or any other property owned or maintained by the Village being defective,
out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed, or in consequence of the existence
or accumulation of snow or ice thereon, unless written notice of the existence
of such condition, relating to the particular place, had theretofore actually
