Serrano v. Haran Realty Co

In Serrano v. Haran Realty Co., 234 AD2d 86 (1st Dept 1996) plaintiff slipped on dog urine in the hallway of a building. The court specifically noted that defendant had regularly mopped the hallway. The court also noted that there was insufficient evidence as to the length of time that particular condition that caused plaintiff's fall had existed prior to the fall. There, the court held that a general awareness of a condition was not enough to constitute constructive notice and dismissed plaintiff's claims as speculative.
