198 A.D.2d 211 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

604 N.Y.S.2d 789

Opinion

November 1, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Held, J.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

It appears from the record that the respondent New York City Housing Authority received knowledge of the facts of this matter within the time that a notice of claim was required to have been served, and was not prejudiced by the delay (see, Matter of Irizarry v New York City Hous. Auth., 167 A.D.2d 466). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly exercised its discretion in granting leave to file a late notice of claim. Thompson, J.P., Sullivan, Ritter and Joy, JJ., concur.
