The Plaintiff, a unit owner in a commercial condominium development, sued the Defendant condominium association after he tripped and fell on the torn tread of a stair in a common stairwell. The Plaintiff maintained that the condominium association had notice of the dangerous condition of the stair but failed to take any action to correct the defect. His fall resulted in a torn ACL requiring arthroscopic surgery. He thereafter developed post-traumatic osteoarthritis. A verdict was entered for the defense.
