DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
All of the plaintiff's present contentions are raised for the first time on appeal, and therefore are not properly before this court (see, Fleet Bank v. Powerhouse Trading Corp., 267 A.D.2d 276 [2d Dept., Dec. 13, 1999]; Dufficy v. Wharf Bar Grill, 217 A.D.2d 646 ). In any event, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in granting the defendants' motion for leave to move for summary judgment (see, 3212[a]; Olzaski v. Locust Val. Cent. School Dist., 256 A.D.2d 320 ; Rossi v. Arnot Ogden Med. Ctr., 252 A.D.2d 778 ). Further, so much of the complaint as asserted a cause of action to recover damages pursuant to the New York City Human Rights Law (Administrative Code of City of N Y § 8-101 et seq.) was properly dismissed, since the private right of action created by Administrative Code § 8-502 applies only to causes of action arising on or after its effective date (see, Local Laws, 1991, No. 39 of City of New York § 4[6]; Batchelor v. NYNEX Telesector Resources Group., 213 A.D.2d 189, 190 ).
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
