ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The plaintiff's notice of claim did not comply with General Municipal Law § 50-e(2), because it failed to identify the location of the accident with sufficient particularity to enable the respondent City of New York to locate the alleged defect and conduct a meaningful investigation (see Ames v. City of New York, 280 A.D.2d 625, 626; Wai Man Hui v. Town of Oyster Bay, 267 A.D.2d 233, 234; Yankana v. City of New York, 246 A.D.2d 645, 646; Caselli v. City of New York, 105 A.D.2d 251, 252-253). The notice of claim alleged that the plaintiff fell "on West 6th Street and Shell Road" in Brooklyn. Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, her testimony at the hearings held pursuant to General Municipal Law § 50-h failed to clarify the notice of claim (see Edgehill v. City of New York, 260 A.D.2d 597, 598; Yankana v. City of New York, supra, at 646; Whitfield v. Town of Oyster Bay, 225 A.D.2d 763, 764). Furthermore, the photographs submitted at the hearing conducted on April 16, 1999, which purport to depict the accident location, are dehors the record and may not be considered on appeal (see Regina v. Friedman, 272 A.D.2d 461, 462; Broida v. Bancroft, 103 A.D.2d 88, 93). Additionally, a supplemental bill of particulars further confused the issue and gave the location as Sheepshead Bay Road and West 6th Street.
