Majority

p. 639

In the Matter of Josephine Bell, Appellant, v City of New York, Respondent.

Under the circumstances of this case, we find that the Supreme Court improvidently exercised its discretion in denying the petitioner’s application for leave to file a late notice of claim (see, Matter of Harris v Dormitory Auth., 168 AD2d 560 ; Rosenblatt v City of New York, 160 AD2d 927 ; Baldeo v City of New York, 127 AD2d 809 ; Matter of Cannistra v Town of Putnam Val., 124 AD2d 801 ). Kunzeman, J. P., Balletta, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
