Brooklyn woman sues ex-mayor Bill de Blasio over trip-and-fall on sidewalk outside Park Slope property

A Brooklyn woman alleges that former Mayor Bill de Blasio needs to do a better job keeping up his property — and says she’s got the injuries to prove it.

Carole Kolb-King last week sued de Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray, over the harm she suffered in June by tripping over a hole in front of a house the couple owns in Park Slope.

Kolb-King, 69, claims she was walking to the post office to mail a check to her nephew from her home in Windsor Terrace June 25 when her foot got caught in the hole outside de Blasio’s 11th St. property.

She landed on her face and left knee, knocking out four dental crowns and tearing her meniscus, says the lawsuit filed on Friday.

“He did about as good a job taking care of his house as he did taking care of the city for eight years,” Kolb-King told the Daily News..

She alleges de Blasio and McCray knew or should have known the sidewalk was cracked and uneven and had an obligation to fix it.

“All of a sudden, my foot got caught in this little piece of sidewalk which had an inch or more opening,” she recalled. “My foot got stuck and I fell forward and I landed on my left knee and on my face. And I was all bloody and someone on the block called 911. I was freaking out.”

De Blasio did not respond to a request for comment. The property cited in Kolb-King’s suit is one of two properties the former mayor owns in the neighborhood.

The lawsuit filed Friday in Supreme Court in Brooklyn also names the city and two neighbors of the de Blasio property, retired Judge Margaret Cammer, and her partner Joan Snyder, a well-known artist whose work has hung in in the Museum of Modern Art.

Kolb-King said she needs a series of dental procedures, and is also in physical therapy for her injured knee. She estimates the ordeal has cost her at least $5,000 so far.

“I just think de Blasio didn’t take care of his property,” said Kolb-King’s lawyer, Ezra Glaser. “Whether or not he is liable, he still could have had the sidewalk fixed outside his house. I believe that condition existed for some time.”

Kolb-King’s husband passed away in 2014. For the past 28 years, the Windsor Terrace resident has been an activity therapist at an in-patient psychiatric facility in Brooklyn.

“I had just gotten these crowns in the front of my mouth, a year or two ago,” she said. “I thought I was going to have them forever.”
