OPINION OF THE COURT
Chief Judge Kaye.
This appeal tests the sufficiency of a Notice of Claim required for suit against a municipality (General Municipal Law § 50-e). The Appellate Division, after a verdict in plaintiffs favor for personal injuries resulting from a fall on a New York City sidewalk, affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of the complaint on the ground that “plaintiff failed to notify the City in his notice of claim of the location of the defect which he claimed at trial was the cause of his accident” (265 AD2d 284). Concluding that notice was adequate, we now reverse.
