A. 
No civil action shall be maintained against the County of Rockland for damages or injuries to persons or property sustained by reason of any highway, bridge or culvert being defective, out of repair, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed unless written notice of such defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed condition of such highway, bridge or culvert was actually given to the Clerk to the Legislature or County Superintendent of Highways and there was a failure or neglect within a reasonable time after the giving of such notice to repair or remove the defect, danger or obstruction complained of, or the place made reasonably safe.
B. 
Nothing contained in Subsection A shall limit the right to maintain a civil action against the County of Rockland in the absence of such notice when the defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed condition existed for so long a period that the same should have been discovered and remedied in the exercise of reasonable care and diligence.
C. 
No civil action shall be maintained against the County of Rockland for damages or injuries to persons or property sustained solely in consequence of the existence of snow and ice upon any highway, bridge or culvert unless written notice thereof specifying the particular place was actually given to the Clerk to the Legislature or County Superintendent of Highways and there was a failure or neglect to cause such snow and ice to be removed or to make the place otherwise reasonably safe within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice.
A. 
The County Highway Superintendent shall transmit, in writing, to the Clerk to the County Legislature, within 10 days after the receipt thereof, all written notices received by him pursuant to this chapter.
B. 
The Clerk to the Legislature shall keep an indexed record, in a separate book, of all written notices which re received of the existence of such defective, unsafe, dangerous or obstructed conditions or of an accumulation of ice and snow upon any County highway, bridge or culvert, which record shall set forth the date of receipt of such notice, the nature and location of the condition stated to exist and the name and address of the person from whom the notice is received. The record of each notice shall be preserved for a period of five years after the date it is received.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to relieve a claimant of the requirements set forth in the General Municipal Law §§ 50-e and 50-i.
