Jakmian, C. v. City of Phila.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania denied the petition for allowance of appeal, affirming the Commonwealth Court’s grant of nonsuit. The Court held that under the real‑estate exception to the Sovereign Immunity Act, an artificial condition such as an inactive trolley track can itself constitute a dangerous condition of Commonwealth agency realty, and that whether the condition is dangerous is a question of fact for the jury, not requiring expert testimony.
