Opinions

— Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, entered on March 5, 1975, declaring that defendant is obligated under its policy of insurance to satisfy an assessment [546] against plaintiffs’ property, affirmed, with respondents to recover $60 costs and disbursements of this appeal from appellant.

Having failed to give such notice, defendant is properly held obligated to satisfy the assessment against plaintiffs’ property resulting from the ordinance above mentioned. Concur — Markewich, J.
