Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the petitioner’s application for leave to serve a late notice of claim pursuant to General Municipal Law § 50-e (5) (see, Matter of Buddenhagen v Town of Brookhaven, 212 AD2d 605; Matter of Plantin v New York City Hous.
