GEOVANE FREITAS, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF NEW YORK et al., Defendants and Third-Party Plaintiffs-Respondents. ROMANO ENTERPRISES OF NEW YORK, INC., Third-Party Defendant-Appellant, et al., Third-Party Defendants.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The contention of Romano Enterprises of New York, Inc. (hereinafter Romano), that the indemnification provision in its contract with general contractor Yonkers Contracting Co. did not manifest a clear intention for Romano to indemnify the City of New York and the New York City Department of Transportation (hereinafter together the City) is raised for the first time on appeal, and, therefore, is not properly before this Court ( see Rosario v New York City Hous. Auth., 230 AD2d 900).

Romano's contention that the indemnification provision was void and unenforceable under General Obligations Law § 5-322.1 is also raised for the first time on appeal and, therefore, is also not properly before this Court ( see Pierce v City of New York, 253 AD2d 545).

In light of the City's unrebutted prima facie showing that it was not negligent in the happening of the plaintiffs accident, it was entitled to summary judgment on its contractual indemnification claim ( see Castillo, v K.A.B. Realty, Inc., 37 AD3d 510; Reborchick v Broadway Mall Props., Inc., 10 AD3d 713).
