Richter, J.P., Manzanet–Daniels, Singh, Moulton, JJ.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Jennifer G. Schecter, J.), entered June 29, 2018 with dismissed plaintiff's claim for certain damages for breach of contract, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court correctly concluded that Article 4 of the parties' lease precludes plaintiff from claiming the damages it seeks in this action, namely, an "allowance to [plaintiff] for the diminution of rental value" or for liability on defendant's part "for any inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from defendant's failure to make repairs" (see After Midnight Co. LLC v. MIP 145 E. 57th St, LLC., 146 A.D.3d 446, 447, 43 N.Y.S.3d 749 [1st Dept. 2017] ; Bowlmor Times Sq LLC v AI 229 W. 43rd St. Prop. Owner, LLC, 106 A.D.3d 646, 647, 966 N.Y.S.2d 48 [1st Dept. 2013] ).
We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
