No civil action shall be brought or maintained
against the Incorporated Village of Manorhaven for damages or injury
to person or property sustained in consequence of any street, sidewalk
or crosswalk being defective, out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or
obstructed or in consequence of the existence of or accumulation of
snow or ice upon any street, sidewalk or crosswalk unless written
notice of the existence of such condition, relating to the particular
place, has theretofore been given to the Board of Trustees of the
Incorporated Village of Manorhaven through its agent, the Village
Clerk, and there has been a failure or neglect on the part of said
Village to cause such condition to be corrected or such snow or ice
to be removed or the place otherwise made reasonably safe within a
reasonable time after the receipt of such notice.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall be
held to revive any claim or cause of action now barred by an existing
requirement or statute of limitations, nor to waive any existing limitation
now applicable to any claim or cause of action against the Incorporated
Village of Manorhaven.
