257 A.D.2d 461 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

682 N.Y.S.2d 842

Opinion

January 19, 1999.

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Gerald Esposito, J.).

Defendant's motion to dismiss by reason of alleged defects in plaintiff's notice of claim was properly denied. The imprecisions in the notice of claim cited by defendant could not, under the highly transitory circumstances of this case, have prejudiced defendant's ability to conduct an investigation of the subject incident ( see, Reyes v. New York City Hous. Auth., 221 A.D.2d 240).

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Lerner, Rubin and Tom, JJ.
