§ 6-628. Liability of village in certain actions.
No civil action shall be brought or maintained against the Village of Scotia 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 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 theretofore actually been given to the Village Clerk-Treasurer of the Village of Scotia 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.
