Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 14, 2001
284 A.D.2d 190 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

June 14, 2001.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Howard Silver, J.), entered November 29, 1999, which granted defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Jana Sperry, for plaintiffs-appellants.

Louis H. Liotti, for defendant-respondent.

Before: Nardelli, J.P., Tom, Ellerin, Buckley, Marlow, JJ.


Plaintiff allegedly slipped and fell on a puddle of beer in the main area of defendant American Legion Hall where party guests were dancing. Defendant moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that it had no actual or constructive notice of the alleged dangerous condition. Plaintiff's claim that a general dangerous condition might exist because party guests were carrying their drinks on a dance floor is legally insufficient to raise an issue as to defendant's actual or constructive notice of the specific hazard that caused plaintiff's accident (see, Piacquadio v. Recine Realty Corp., 84 N.Y.2d 967, 969;see also, Winecki v. W. Seneca Post 8113, Inc., 227 A.D.2d 978).
