Head Matter:
In the Matter of John Przybyszewski, Appellant, v City of New York, Respondent.
[638 NYS2d 763]

Opinion:
The plaintiff was injured on March 23, 1993, when, in the course of his employment as a police officer, he slipped and fell in a building owned by the City of New York. In his action against the City of New York to recover damages for personal injuries, the petitioner asserted in his complaint a cause of action under General Municipal Law § 205-e. That statute became effective on July 12, 1989. Since the petitioner's cause of action accrued after July 12, 1989, he is not exempt from the requirements of General Municipal Law § 50-e and 50-i (see, McNulty v New York City Tr. Auth., 166 Misc 2d 219). Mangano, P. J., Bracken, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
