Service of a Notice of Claim on the City Did Not Constitute the Service of a Notice of Claim on the New York City Transit Authority
The First Department determined the service of a notice of claim on the City did not constituted the service of a notice of claim on the New York City Transit Authority:
It is well settled that service of a notice of claim on the City through the Comptroller’s Office is not service upon a separate public authority … . Since plaintiff did not comply with the condition precedent of service of a notice of claim upon the Transit Authority defendants, and they deny having received the notice of claim from the Comptroller’s Office, dismissal is required.
