No. 3-2019. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
In accordance with Village Law § 6-628, 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 existence of the snow or ice, relating to the
particular place, was actually given to the Village Clerk and there
was a failure or neglect within a reasonable time after the 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 South Nyack.
