Opinion
March 19, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Louis York, J.).
The motion was properly granted where the delay resulting from plaintiff's mistaken service of her notice of claim on the wrong public entity was short ( see, Matter of Soto v. New York City Hous. Auth., 180 A.D.2d 570), and where the section 50-h hearing might well clarify the location and nature of the alleged defect in the subway station pavement that caused plaintiff to fall, and the prejudice, if any, to defendant caused by the delay in supplying needed information ( see, D'Alessandro v. New York City Tr. Auth., 83 N.Y.2d 891; Mayer v. DuPont Assocs., 80 A.D.2d 799).
