Open-and-Obvious Staircase Slip-and-Fall: NY Court Grants Summary Judgment
NY Slip Op 00042
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Nancy M. Bannon, J.), entered January 6, 2016, which granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Defendants established entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, in this action for personal injuries arising out of plaintiff’s fall on an exterior stairway attached to defendants’ building. The stairway was open and obvious and not inherently dangerous (see Zalot v. New York State Off. of Fire Prevention & Control, 104 A.D.3d 1261 [4th Dept 2013]; Russo v. 205 E. 77, LLC, 107 A.D.3d 429 [1st Dept 2013]). There are no triable issues of fact raised (see Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 N.Y.2d 320 [1986]).
