BETTY L. McCABE, Appellant, v. TOWN OF RIVERHEAD, ETC., Respondent.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The Town of Riverhead did not receive prior written notice of the sidewalk defect over which the plaintiff allegedly tripped and fell as required by the Town of Riverhead Code § 10-2. Contrary to the plaintiff's contentions, the two letters regarding the general deteriorated condition of the sidewalks in the downtown district did not sufficiently identify the particular defect which caused the plaintiff to fall and its location ( see Hampton v. Town of N. Hempstead, 298 A.D.2d 556; Camenson v. Town of N. Hempstead, 298 A.D.2d 543; Gellos v. Town of Hempstead, 284 A.D.2d 370; James v. City of New Rochelle, 282 A.D.2d 503, 505). Furthermore, notice of one isolated sidewalk defect in front of property adjoining the subject property more than two years before this accident did not, without more, qualify as notice of the particular sidewalk defect in front of the subject property ( see Jones v. Town of Brookhaven, 227 A.D.2d 530).

RITTER, J.P., SMITH, FRIEDMANN, H. MILLER and CRANE, JJ., concur.
