Premises Liab   Stairs   Duty  

First Department
Pub granted summary judgment dismissing patron’s claim for fall from 6” drop between revolving door and step as she exited the pub as it owed no duty where the lease only required it to maintain the portion of the revolving door within the building, not the step that caused plaintiff to fall. Pub did not voluntarily assume a duty by placement of “watch your step” stickers on the revolving door which were in place before defendant occupied the pub and, in any event, plaintiff could not claim she relied on defendant’s ‘gratuitous conduct’ where she admitted she did not see the stickers before her fall. Kramer v Bailey Rest. Group. Inc.
