Opinion
March 21, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (O'Donoghue, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The defendant was served with a claim form within the 90-day period required by General Municipal Law § 50-e (1) (a) by personal delivery to its office at 250 Broadway in Manhattan. The defendant failed to demonstrate that the claim form was not properly served in accordance with General Municipal Law § 50-e (3) (a). As for the notice itself, we conclude that under the circumstances of this case, its defects are inconsequential and may be disregarded. The plaintiff acted in good faith and, as the Supreme Court found, the defendant did not demonstrate that its ability to defend this action has been prejudiced (see, General Municipal Law § 50-e; Caselli v. City of New York, 105 A.D.2d 251, 254). An accident report was filed shortly after the incident and the defendant assigned a claim number to the matter and conducted an investigation (see, Williams v. New York City Hous. Auth., 179 A.D.2d 523). Rosenblatt, J.P., Ritter, Pizzuto and Altman, JJ., concur.
