SEVENTH: Any statutory provisions uniquely pertaining to the public corporation and the commencement of an action or proceeding against it are as follows: However, GML § 53 only applies to tort and related notices of claims servable under GML § 50-e and does not apply to other notices of claim that may relate to other claims against the Town, such as those sounding in contract as governed by Town Law § 65(3), pre-existing condition notices arising in relation to highway, culvert or bridge defects or conditions (Town Law § 65-a), or claims for damages for compensation for property taken by condemnation (see generally, Town Law § 67(3) and the NYS Eminent Domain Proceedings Law). I would include this in the comment section on the online filing form. The statutory provisions are discussed above, but this GML § 53 statute only applies to § 50-e claims and notices of claim.

EIGHTH: The New York State Vendor Identification Number (Vendor ID) for the public corporation is: REDACTED

Note: If the public corporation does not have a Vendor ID issued by the Office of the State Comptroller the Department of State will contact the public corporation regarding issuance of a Vendor ID when fees for service of Notices of Claim are available for distribution.
