§  641. Actions against the trust. 1. Except in an action for wrongful
  death, no action or proceeding shall be prosecuted or maintained against
  the trust for personal injury or damage to  real  or  personal  property
  alleged  to  have been sustained by reason of the negligence or wrongful
  act of the trust or of any  member  of  the  board,  officer,  agent  or
  employee  thereof, unless (a) it shall appear by and as an allegation in
  the complaint or moving papers that a notice of claim  shall  have  been
  made  and served upon the trust, within the time limit prescribed by and
  in compliance with section fifty-e of the general municipal law, (b)  it
  shall  appear  by and as an allegation in the complaint or moving papers
  that at least thirty days have elapsed since the service of such  notice
  and  that  adjustment  or payment thereof has been neglected or refused,
  and (c) the action or proceeding shall be commenced  within  the  period
  provided  under  section fifty-i of the general municipal law. An action
  against the trust 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.
2. Wherever a notice of claim is served upon the trust, it shall  have
  the  right  to  demand  an  examination  of the claimant relative to the
  occurrence and extent of the injuries or  damages  for  which  claim  is
  made,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  section fifty-h of the
  general municipal law.
3. The trust may require  any  person  presenting  for  settlement  an
  account  or claim for any cause whatsoever against the trust to be sworn
  before a member of  the  board,  counsel  or  an  attorney,  officer  or
  employee thereof designated for such purpose, concerning such account or
  claim  and  when  so sworn, to answer orally as to any facts relative to
  such account or claim. The trust shall have power to  settle  or  adjust
  any claims in favor of or against the trust.
4.  The rate of interest to be paid by the trust upon any judgment for
  which it is liable, other than a  judgment  on  bonds,  notes  or  other
  obligations,  shall  not  exceed  the  rate of interest on judgments and
  accrued claims against municipal authorities as provided in the  general
  municipal  law.  Interest  on  payments  of principal or interest on any
  bonds, notes or other obligations in default shall accrue  at  the  rate
  specified   in  the  general  municipal  law  until  paid  or  otherwise
  satisfied.
5. The venue of every  action,  suit  or  special  proceeding  brought
  against the trust shall be laid in the county of New York.
