Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
Upon review of a determination rendered after a nonjury trial, this Court's authority "is as broad as that of the trial court," and this Court may "render the judgment it finds warranted by the facts, taking into account in a close case the fact that the trial judge had the advantage of seeing the witnesses" ( Northern Westchester Professional Park Assoc., v Town of Bedford, 60 NY2d 492, 499). We discern no basis to disturb the Supreme Court's determination.
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
