Quick Summary

Former New York Representative Carolyn Maloney has filed a lawsuit against a constituent and the city of New York for over $1 million after slipping on an icy sidewalk near a Carnegie Hill townhouse on February 18. Maloney claims her fall resulted in a fractured shoulder, hospitalization, surgery, and long-term disabilities that affected her earnings. She is suing both the property owners and the city, citing their responsibility for maintaining safe sidewalks. The homeowner, Mary Quinn, who purchased the $6 million home in 2018, has not commented on the lawsuit as she was unaware of it at the time of the article's publication. Due to New York City’s sidewalk laws, taxpayers may be held responsible for compensating Maloney rather than the property owner.

Story summary

Former New York Representative Carolyn Maloney is suing a former constituent and the city of New York for over $1 million after slipping on an icy sidewalk near her Upper East Side home last winter. Maloney, who represented the district for 30 years until her retirement in January, claims she fell outside a townhouse at Carnegie Hill on February 18, sustaining a fractured shoulder that required hospitalization and surgery. According to court documents filed recently in Manhattan Supreme Court, Maloney suffered “permanent and significant functional disabilities” as a result of the fall, leading to lost wages and projected loss of future earnings. The lawsuit names both the townhouse owners, who purchased their 3,200-square-foot home for nearly $6 million in 2018, and the city for failing to maintain safe sidewalk conditions.

Former longtime New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney is suing a former Upper East Side constituent and the Big Apple for over $1 million — claiming an icy sidewalk slip-and-fall sent her to the hospital last winter, The Post has learned. asserted
