[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson 8-18-1953 by L.L. No. 1-1953.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Amended 2-18-2020 by L.L. No. 1-2020]
No civil action shall be
maintained against the Village 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 for damages or injuries to person or property
sustained solely in consequence of the existence of snow or ice upon
any sidewalk, crosswalk, street, highway, bridge or culvert, unless
written notice of the defective, unsafe, dangerous, or obstructed
condition or of the existing snow or ice, relating to the particular
place, was actually given to the Village Clerk of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson
and there was a failure or neglect within a reasonable time after
receipt of such notice to repair or remove the defect, danger or obstruction
complained of, or to cause the snow or ice to be removed, or the place
otherwise made reasonably safe.
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 Hastings-on-Hudson.
