apartment. As a result of my fall on August 24, 2019, I was treated at Harlem
Hospital in the emergency room. X-rays were taken and I was diagnosed
with a fractured left hip requiring surgery. I was then transported to Jacobi
Hospital at which time I had surgery with hardware inserted in my left hip on
September 3, 2019. Thereafter I was taken by ambulance to Northem
Manhattan Rehabilitation and Nursing Center for rehabilitation until October
23, 2019 at which time I was discharged and retumed home where I was
confined and unable to leave. At home Icontinued to receive physical
therapy. I continued to have severe pain. As a result, I went to Mt. Sinai/St.
Luke's Hospital on January 10, 2020 at which time x-rays were taken and it
was determined that my left hip was dislocated and I required additional
surgery. I still have not retumed home.
4. On January 13, 2020, I retained the office of SURNS &
HARRIS, ESQS. to represent me. I have been informed by my attomeys,
BURNS & HARRIS, ESQS., that a Notice of Claim must be filed against NEW
YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, and that an application must be
submitted to this court deeming the Notice of Claim timely filed mm pro tunc.
Hence, the necessity for this motion.

Claim. Additionally, I have been in and out of the hospital since my accident
and was not able to consult with an attomey.
6. Thereafter a Notice of Claim was filed with NEW YORK CITY

is no prejudice to NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY in that my son
Luis reported my accident to respondent NEW YORK CITY HOUSING
