or obstructed, or in consequence of the existence or accumulation
of snow or ice upon such street, highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk,
curb or crosswalk, unless written notice of the existence of such
condition, specifying the particular place, was theretofore actually
given to the Board of Trustees of the Village of Malverne, and there

after the receipt of such notice.
