Recently, Justice Herbert Kramer of Supreme Court, Kings County, held in the case of MOORE v. NEWPORT ASSOCIATES L.P., that an elevation differential between sidewalk slabs of more than one half inch, caused by a tree root, was actionable and not too small under the new Sidewalk Law of 2003 [Local Law number 49, New York City Code § 7-210]. Furthermore, that the new law placed a duty on a New York City property owner to repair or replace a sidewalk flag that causes a trip hazard because of a grade differential of one half inch or more. http://www.foleygriffin.com/.
