In any case founded upon a tort a notice of claim shall be required as a condition precedent to the commencement of an action or special proceeding against the authority and the provisions of section fifty-e of the general municipal law shall apply. Except in an action for wrongful death, an action against the authority 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.
