This is nothing really new.We had the same problem some years back at Pelham Bay Park,only in this case the situation occurred when people were walking down. The 3rd step from the mezzanine landing was not the right height and people (myself included) would always "mis-step". As far as I know, no one fell but I came close a couple of times. This went on for almost a year before they redid that staircase. |

And how many decades has that staircase been like that before someone actually took notice? |

It looks like the treads on the steps on that staircase were retrofitted at some point relatively recently and that the difference in height was caused by a misinstallation of the metal tread. It probably wasn't that way originally. |

There was a step at 25th Av on the West End that was like that when I lived there in the late 1980s. It had been that way for as long as anyone could remember, at least as far back as the 1950s and likely longer. Since the stop was pretty much people who lived there, most folks knew about it and simply dealt. |
