2005A “party sustaining injury allegedly attributable to these health facilities [must] file a verified notice of claim with [HHC] prior to the commencement of a lawsuit” (Bender, 38 NY2d at 665 ).

1984Corp., 38 NY2d 662, 665 ; see, generally, New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation Act, § 2 [L 1969, ch 1016]; General Municipal Law, § 50-e).

1930(Winter v. City of Niagara Falls, 190 N. Y. 198, 203 ; Rogers v. Village of Port Chester, 234 N. Y. 182, 185 .) If the notice of claim does not comply with the statutory requirements, if it is not a verified notice of claim, the complaint was properly dismissed.

1912(Reining v. City of Buffalo, 102 N. Y. 308 ; Curry v. City of Buffalo, 135 N. Y. 366 ; MacMullen v. City of Middletown, 187 N. Y. 37 ; Winter v. City of Niagara Falls, 190 N. Y. 198 .) Thus, in Reining v. City of Buffalo (supra), Chief Judge Ruger said, all the judges concurring: “The inquiry is whether this provision was intended to operate as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action, or simply to furnish a defense to the city in case of an omission to make such demand.

2006The 90-day notice was served prior to the completion of discovery (see McCracken v Nitto Kohki USA, 271 AD2d 510 [2000]; Scoglio v Scoglio, 253 AD2d 520, 521 [1998]; DeSimone v DiMaria, 216 AD2d 437 [1995]; Markarian v Hundert, 204 AD2d 697, 698 [1994]), the plaintiffs served and filed a note of issue and certificate of readiness within 90 days indicat ing that all discovery was not complete (see Canzoneri v Wigand Corp., 213 AD2d 579 [1995]), and the plaintiffs’ verified notice of claim was sufficient to demonstrate a meritorious cause of action (see Haiskins v Jorge, 147 AD2d 529 [1989]).

2001Defendant’s asserted counterclaim accrued when it sent its demand for payment on October 15, 1993 since its damages were then ascertainable (see, Matter of City School Dist. [Tougher Indus.], 173 AD2d 1051 ).

2000Accordingly, the verified notice of claim filed with the Town Clerk of Babylon in January 1999, was timely (see, Town Law §65 [3]; Trison Contr. v Town of Huntington, supra; Boeckmann & Assocs. v Board of Educ., 207 AD2d 773 ).

2000The plaintiffs contention that service of the verified complaint upon the Town Clerk was equivalent, to the service of a verified notice of claim is unpreserved for appellate review (see, Dannhauser v County of Suffolk, 216 AD2d 514, 515 ), and, in any event, without merit (see, Holzmacher, McClendon & Murrell v Town of E.

2000Contrary to the plaintiffs contention, the service of a verified complaint is not equivalent to service of a verified notice of claim for the purpose of satisfying the claim-filing requirement of Town Law § 65 (3) (see, Hassett-Belfer Senior Hous. v Town of N. Hempstead, supra; Holzmacher, McClendon & Murrell v Town of E.

1998Further, Bronco failed to raise a triable issue of fact that the alleged filing of the disputed invoices with Yonkers constituted substantial compliance with the notice of claim requirements (see, Parochial Bus Sys. v Board of Educ., supra; Matter of Cardia-Zalaman v Board of Educ., 233 AD2d 391 ; Hygrade Insulators v Board of Educ., 207 AD2d 430 ; Rutigliano v Board of Educ., 176 AD2d 866 ).

1998Yonkers answered, and moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the ground that the action was barred by Education Law § 3813 because Bronco had failed to file a verified notice of claim within 90 days of the accrual of each claim, and because Bronco had not commenced an action on each claim within one year of the accrual of each claim (see, Parochial Bus Sys. v Board of Educ., 60 NY2d 539 ).

1998It is undisputed that Bronco failed to serve a verified notice of claim pursuant to Education Law § 3813 (1) as to any of the disputed invoices prior to the commencement of this action (see, Parochial Bus Sys. v Board of Educ., supra).

1991Since the courts lack authority to disregard the lack of verification of a notice of claim against a town based on a contractual dispute (see, Aqua Dredge v Little Harbor Sound Civic Improvement Assn., 114 AD2d 825 ), the plaintiff’s unverified letters of January 6, 1982, and January 19, 1982, notifying the Chief of Police and Town Board of his claim, do not substantially comply with Town Law § 65 (3).

1979No. 6 of Towns of Islip & Smithtown v New York State Human Rights Appeal Bd., 35 NY2d 371, 379-380 ; but see Ruocco v Doyle, 38 AD2d 132 [not observing the distinction where the relief sought was equitable in nature]).

1978There is nothing in the record presented to indicate an estoppel or waiver by the Board of Education raising the defense of section 3813 of the Education Law (cf. Welsh v Gindele & Johnson, 50 AD2d 971 ), nor does the defendant allege that any of the exceptions to the statute are applicable (Matter of Grey v Board of Educ., 60 AD2d 361 ).

1955The courts are without power to substitute something else.” Rockwell v. City of Syracuse ( 282 N. Y. 17 ) is concerned with a statutory requirement of service of a verified notice of claim against a city.

1951(Matter of Ostrow v. City of New York, 191 Misc. 240 .) The order below should be modified on the law and on the facts, with $20 costs and disbursements to the respondent, and the notice of claim filed by the husband for loss of services is allowed to be amended so as to include therein a verified notice of claim on behalf of the wife.

1930(Winter v. City of Niagara Falls, 190 N. Y. 198, 203 ; Rogers v. Village of Port Chester, 234 N. Y. 182, 185 .) If the notice of claim does not comply with the statutory requirements, if it is not a verified notice of claim, the complaint was properly dismissed.

1912(Reining v. City of Buffalo, 102 N. Y. 308 ; Curry v. City of Buffalo, 135 N. Y. 366 ; MacMullen v. City of Middletown, 187 N. Y. 37 ; Winter v. City of Niagara Falls, 190 N. Y. 198 .)
