§ 6-628 Liability of village in certain actions. No

Village of Elmira Heights for damages or injuries to person or property
sustained in consequence of any street, highway, bridge, culvert,
sidewalk, crosswalk or park 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 such existence of such condition,
relating to the particular place, had, prior to the happening of the
event causing the damages or injuries to person or property, actually
been given to the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of
Elmira Heights and there had 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 any existing

now applicable to any claim or action or cause of action against the
Incorporated Village of Elmira Heights.
