Responsibility for sidewalk accidents in New York City depends on Administrative Code § 7-210 and New York’s common law. Generally, property owners abutting the sidewalk are liable under Administrative Code § 7-210, but there are exceptions for owner-occupied one-, two-, or three-family homes, areas not defined as “sidewalk,” and tenants. If § 7-210 doesn’t apply, New York’s common law rules dictate liability, typically falling on the City of New York unless an abutting landowner or tenant created the dangerous condition, made negligent repairs, used the sidewalk specially, or had a comprehensive maintenance contract. Proper legal analysis is crucial to determine liability after a New York City sidewalk accident.
