Chapter 44 Claims Against the Village
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Manlius 5-14-2013 by L.L. No. 2-2013. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the intent of this chapter to require a notice of defect to be filed with the Village of Manlius so that the Village may be placed on actual notice of any dangerous conditions and therefore more capable to replace and repair defective Village property and protect Village residents from injury. This chapter exists for the benefit of the public and the Village and incidentally for the individual. MacMullen vs. City of Middletown, 187, N.Y. 37 (1907). This chapter is enacted pursuant to the powers granted to the Village by virtue of Article 9, § 2(C)(5) of the New York State Constitution.
No cause of action shall accrue against or shall be maintained against the Village of Manlius, Onondaga County, New York, its officers, agents, or employees for damages or injuries to a person or property sustained in consequence of any defective or out-of-repair Village property or property under the direct or indirect control of the Village, unless a written notice of defect was first filed with the Village Clerk and there was a failure or neglect by the Village within a reasonable time after the receipt of such written notice to repair or remove the defect, danger or obstruction. The filing of a notice of defect shall be a condition precedent to the filing or maintaining of an action or special proceeding against the Village, its officers, agents or employees for such damage or injury to person or property.
Village property or property under direct or indirect control of the Village shall include, but not be limited to, any park, recreational facility, library, sewage treatment plant, garage, Village hall or center, any other Village building, property, street, highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk, crosswalk or parts or appurtenances thereof.
