§ 171-20. Liability of
Village in certain actions.
No civil
action shall be maintained against the Village 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 for damages or injuries to person or property
sustained solely in consequence of the existence of snow or ice upon any
sidewalk, crosswalk, street, highway, bridge or culvert unless written notice
of the defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed condition or of the existence
of the snow or ice, relating to the particular place, was actually given to the
Village Clerk and there was a failure or neglect within a reasonable time after
the receipt of such notice to repair or remove the defect, danger or
obstruction complained of, or to cause the snow or ice to be removed, or the place
otherwise made reasonably safe.
