In re Violeta Thornhill

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 29, 1996
232 A.D.2d 317 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

October 29, 1996.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Alan Saks, J.), entered July 14, 1995, which granted petitioner's application for leave to serve a late notice of claim, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Before: Rosenberger, J. P., Ellerin, Ross, Nardelli and Mazzarelli, JJ.


Plaintiff's notice of claim, correctly naming the New York City Housing Authority as defendant, was misdelivered to the Corporation Counsel. Given the short period of delay, approximately two months, and the lack of prejudice to defendant, the court properly granted the application ( see, Goodall v City of New York, 179 AD2d 481).
