In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendants appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Fusco, J.), dated June 25, 2013, which denied their motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
At approximately 4:00 p.m. on December 22, 2010, the plaintiff allegedly was injured when he tripped and fell on or around the sidewalk located adjacent to the premises owned by the defendant Parkside Associates, L.P., known as Parkside Senior Apartments in Staten Island.
“Generally, liability for injuries sustained as a result of a dangerous condition on a public sidewalk is placed on the municipality, and not on the owner of the abutting land” ( James v. Blackmon, 58 A.D.3d 808, 808, 872 N.Y.S.2d 179;see Crawford v. City of New York, 98 A.D.3d 935, 950 N.Y.S.2d 743;Smirnova v. City of New York, 64 A.D.3d 641, 882 N.Y.S.2d 513). The exceptions to this rule are when the landowner actually created the dangerous condition, made negligent repairs that caused the condition, created the dangerous condition through a special use of the sidewalk, or violated a statute or ordinance imposing liability on the abutting landowner for failing to maintain the sidewalk ( see Crawford v. City of New York, 98 A.D.3d at 936, 950 N.Y.S.2d 743;Smirnova v. City of New York, 64 A.D.3d at 641–642, 882 N.Y.S.2d 513;James v. Blackmon, 58 A.D.3d at 808, 872 N.Y.S.2d 179).
“Administrative Code of the City of New York § 7–210, which became effective September 14, 2003, shifted tort liability for injuries arising from a defective sidewalk from the City of New York to the
abutting property owner” ( Pevzner v. 1397 E. 2nd, LLC, 96 A.D.3d 921, 922, 947 N.Y.S.2d 543;see Vucetovic v. Epsom Downs, Inc., 10 N.Y.3d 517, 860 N.Y.S.2d 429, 890 N.E.2d 191;Stoloyvitskaya v. Dennis Boardwalk, LLC, 101 A.D.3d 1106, 956 N.Y.S.2d 525;Fusco v. City of New York, 71 A.D.3d 1083, 1084, 900 N.Y.S.2d 81)....
