Opinion

February 4, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Hansel McGee, J.).

The IAS court did not abuse its discretion in granting plaintiff's application to serve a late notice of claim, in view of plaintiff's extended hospitalization and convalescence, the lack of prejudice to defendant and the fact that defendant received actual notice by virtue of the investigation and incident reports filed by the Housing Authority police.
