of Woodridge 9-19-1994 by L.L.
No. 7-1994 (Ch. 94 of the 1992 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
Notwithstanding the limitations on the types of defects for
which prior notification is required pursuant to § 6-628
of the New York State Village Law, the Village Board of the Village
of Woodridge deems it necessary and appropriate to require prior notification
of a defective condition as set forth herein before the Village of
Woodridge shall be liable for injury or damage to persons or property
sustained as a result of such defect.
No civil action shall be maintained against the Village of Woodridge
for damages or injuries to persons or property sustained by reason
of any defective parking area, swimming or wading pool or pool equipment,
playground or playground equipment or park property, including athletic
fields, basketball courts, handball courts, picnic areas or skating
rinks contained therein, no matter where situated, being defective,
out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed unless written notice
of, by the witness to, the defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed
condition of such parking area, swimming or wading pool or pool equipment,
playground or playground equipment or park property was actually served
upon the Village Clerk and there was failure or neglect within a reasonable
time after the giving of such notice to repair or remove the defect,
danger or obstruction complained of. Under no circumstances shall
the Village of Woodridge be liable for injuries or damages to persons
or property due to defective conditions of the aforesaid Village property
in the absence of such prior written notice to the Village of the
existence of the defective condition causing said injury.
