The notice of claim alleges that plaintiff fell on the stairway of a building owned by defendant and that his fall was occasioned "by reason of a defective, dangerous, wet, slippery and uneven staircase." However, the notice of claim is devoid of any particulars of the incident, including either the specific defect or its location. The accident took place in a twenty-story building containing two stairways. Plaintiff's failure to supply any details regarding the location of his fall or the nature of the defective condition alleged to have precipitated it deprived defendant of the opportunity to conduct a proper and timely investigation, requiring dismissal of the action (General Municipal Law § 50-e; Lupo v. City of New York, 160 A.D.2d 773).
