[Amended 4-11-2006 by L.L. No. 1-2006]
No civil action shall be maintained against
the Village of Newark Valley, the Village Board of Newark Valley or
the Village Supervisor of Public Works for damages or injuries to
person or property sustained by reason of any street, highway, bridge,
culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk being defective, out of repair, unsafe,
dangerous or obstructed, unless written notice of such defective,
unsafe, dangerous or obstructed condition of such street, highway,
bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk was actually given to the Village
Clerk-Treasurer or Village Supervisor of Public Works 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 street, highway, bridge,
culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk, unless written notice thereof, specifying
the particular place, was actually given to the Village Clerk-Treasurer
or the Village Supervisor of Public Works 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.
