In Morgan v. City of New York , Tereca Morgan sued her landlord -- Neighborhood Partnership II Housing Developmental Fund Company, Inc. -- after falling on a building staircase.
When the Kings County Supreme Court granted Neighborhood's motion to dismiss the case, Morgan appealed to the Appellate Division, Second Department.
Since Neighborhood showed the accident wasn't the result of a dangerous-staircase condition, and that it lacked notice of any staircase related perils, the AD2 affirmed the litigation's dismissal.
What a beautiful day for that Neighborhood.
