N.Y. Private Housing Finance Law § 667: Actions

§ 667. Actions. 1. Except in an action for wrongful death, in any case

founded upon tort a notice of claim shall be required as a condition

precedent to the commencement of an action or special proceeding against

the corporation, any of its subsidiary corporations, or any officer,

appointee or employee thereof, and the provisions of section fifty-e of

the general municipal law shall govern the giving of such notice. An

action for wrongful death shall be commenced in accordance with the

notice of claim and time limitation provisions of title eleven of

article nine of the public authorities law. Any other action against the

corporation, any of its subsidiary corporations, or any other officer,

appointee or employee thereof for damages for injuries to real or

personal property, or for the destruction thereof, or for personal

injuries, alleged to have been sustained, shall not be commenced more

than one year and ninety days after the cause of action therefor shall

have accrued.

2. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the corporation,

the corporation shall not be liable for any debts, liabilities,

obligations, agreements, contracts or covenants of any of its subsidiary

corporations. No action or special proceeding of any kind may be brought

against the corporation by any person having claims against or contracts

with any of its subsidiary corporations (including any predecessor

corporation of any of its subsidiary corporations) if the corporation

was not a party to the matter giving rise to such claims or contracts.
