General Municipal Law § 50-i (1) states, in part, that “[n]o action . . . shall be prosecuted . . . against a . . . town . . . for . . . damage to real or personal property alleged to have been sustained by reason of the negligence ... of such . . . town . . . unless . . . the action . . . shall be commenced within one year and ninety days after the happening of the event upon which the claim is based.” Here, the plaintiffs alleged, inter alia, that the Town of Newburgh’s negligent installation of a storm drainage system in May 2007 caused or exacerbated flooding to their property on March 5, 2008. Significantly, however, the plaintiffs make no allegation of negligent maintenance.
The plaintiffs’ remaining contentions are without merit.
Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the Town’s motion to dismiss the complaint as time-barred. Rivera, J.E, Balkin, Eng and Austin, JJ., concur.
