It bars any civil action against the Town or its Superintendent of Highways over a defective, unsafe or obstructed \"highway, bridge, culvert, sidewalk or crosswalk,\" or over snow or ice on one, \"unless written notice, manually subscribed by the complainant,\" was actually given to the Town Superintendent of Highways or Town Clerk and the Town failed to act on it within a reasonable time.[4] The chapter requires the Highway Superintendent to forward any such notice to the Town Clerk within 10 days, requires the Clerk to keep an indexed record of notices under Town Law § 65-a(4), and states that the chapter \"supersede[s] Subdivision I of § 65-a of the Town Law\" for the Town of North Hempstead.[4] A separate Town Code chapter, Chapter 59A, applies the same kind of notice requirement to defects on other Town-owned property.[4]",
