Purpose; intent.

New York State Municipal Home Rule Law authorizes a local government to adopt local laws relating to its property, affairs or government, and New York State General Municipal Law permits that notice of the defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed condition of any street, highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk, or of the existence of snow or ice thereon, may be required by law as a condition precedent to liability for damages or injury to person or property alleged to have been caused by such condition, and the failure to repair or remove the same after receipt of such notice. It is the purpose and intent of the Town of Webster to provide that it be given notice of certain defects and conditions as a condition precedent to the maintaining civil actions against the Town of Webster.
