4732 Determination of whether a sidewalk defect creates a substantial, as opposed to trivial, risk of injury does not rest entirely on the size or depth of the defect, but may require consideration of other circumstances, including whether there were jagged edges, conditions surrounding the defect such as debris, grease or water, as well as lighting, weather, and history; a court may not decide the question as a matter of law in the face of conflicting evidence regarding such factors.CitationSTATHOULIS v CITY OF MONTEBELLO (Trivial Defect) 164 CA4 559 [See: GovC 810 etseq, 830.2; Caloroso v Hathaway 122 CA4 922, T/AT 11/04]
