SUSAN WILLIS et al., Appellants, v. CITY OF NEW YORK, Respondent, and LIZZA INDUSTRIES, INC., et al., Appellants.

Order affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Under subdivision 3.4 of section 349-c and section 349-d High. of the Highway Law, the State, and not the city, had jurisdiction over Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn during its reconstruction when the accident occurred (see Farrell v. Town of North Salem, 205 N.Y. 453; Allen v. Village of Holley, 226 App. Div. 294).

The doctrine of equitable estoppel cannot be applied to estop the city from asserting that the State, rather than the city, was responsible for maintaining the site of the accident. Appellants have made no showing of prejudice or surprise (see Quaglia v Incorporated Vil. of Munsey Park, 54 A.D.2d 434, affd 44 N.Y.2d 772). Titone, J.P., Mangano, Weinstein and Brown, JJ., concur.
