to persons 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, prior to the happening of the event causing damage or injury to
the person or property, actually been given to the Village Clerk of the Incorporated
Village of Westfield, Chautauqua County, New York, and said Village had failed
to cause such condition to be corrected or such snow or ice to be removed
