Busy sidewalks, office buildings, apartment complexes, stores, and construction sites, are just a handful of locations where trip and fall hazards happen in the Bronx and other NYC boroughs. Unfortunately, many of these accidents result in serious injuries. Commonly referred to as the “Sidewalk Law”, §7-210 makes adjacent property owners responsible for maintaining the sidewalk that abuts their property. The law specifies that the sidewalk must be kept in a “reasonably safe condition”. This means property owners have a certain amount of time to repair defects and remove snow and ice from their abutting sidewalk. Failure to do so can result in the property owner, manager, or other responsible party, being held liable for any trip and fall injuries caused by their negligent maintenance.
