William J. Purdy, Respondent v. the City of New York, Appellant

Summary

The Court held that the plaintiff's notice of intent to sue was insufficient because it failed to identify the specific location of the accident on Milford Street, and that the city's retention of the notice did not constitute a waiver of its right to object. Accordingly, the trial court's dismissal was affirmed and the Appellate Division's reversal was reversed.
