POLITICAL SUBDIVISION IMMUNITY — PHYSICAL DEFECT — SUMMARY JUDGMENT: In a personal injury action brought by a tenant against a public housing authority stemming from a leaking ceiling in the tenant's apartment, the trial court did not err in denying the housing authority's motion for summary judgment on the grounds of political subdivision immunity: viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the tenant, a factfinder could reasonably determine under R.C. 2744.02(B)(4) that the housing authority had notice of the physical defect in the tenant's apartment prior to the tenant's injury.
