Description
Order unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: Lisa A. Luciano (plaintiff) sustained injuries when her right foot became caught under a floor mat placed in front of an elevator in the Thaddeus J. Dulski Federal Building in Buffalo. Plaintiffs commenced this action against defendant, Niagara Frontier Vocational Rehabilitation Center, Inc. (Niagara), which has a contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) to provide maintenance in the building. Plaintiffs alleged that Niagara was negligent in its care and maintenance of the floor mat, the edge of which was worn and curled. Niagara moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that it was contractually obligated only to clean the floor mats, not to provide or replace them. Niagara further argued that, even if it had a duty to provide or replace the floor mats, the complaint nevertheless should be dismissed because plaintiffs failed to prove that Niagara had either actual or constructive notice of a dangerous condition.
