Supreme Court correctly found that the CPLR 208 toll did not terminate upon the appointment of the article 81 guardian (see Henry v. City of New York, 94 N.Y.2d 275, 702 N.Y.S.2d 580, 724 N.E.2d 372 [1999] ; Giannicos v. Bellevue Hosp. Med. Ctr., 42 A.D.3d 379, 840 N.Y.S.2d 327 [1st Dept.2007] ; Costello v. North Shore Univ. Hosp. Ctr. for Extended Care & Rehabilitation, 273 A.D.2d 190, 709 N.Y.S.2d 108 [2d Dept.2000] ). The 90–day period to serve the notice of claim was not extended by the CPLR 208 toll (see Yessenia D. v. New York City Health & Hosps. Corp., 139 A.D.3d 454, 29 N.Y.S.3d 788 [1st Dept.2016] ). However the 90–day period was tolled in this case by the continuous treatment doctrine.
