Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Alison Y. Tuitt, J.), entered on October 26, 2016, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, denied defendant Michael Hanchard's motion to vacate a judgment of foreclosure entered upon his default, pursuant to CPLR 5015(a)(4), and dismiss the complaint for lack of jurisdiction, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
The court correctly found that jurisdiction had been obtained over defendant Michael Hanchard. Plaintiff established prima facie that defendant was properly served with process by showing, pursuant to CPLR 308(4), that on three separate occasions and times, the process server made efforts to serve defendant at his last known address in Florida (see Ayala v. Bassett , 57 A.D.3d 387, 870 N.Y.S.2d 261 [1st Dept. 2008] ). Defendant's conclusory denial of service was insufficient to rebut the presumption of proper service created by the process server's properly executed affidavit (see id. ; U.S. Bank N.A. v. Martinez , 139 A.D.3d 548, 549, 34 N.Y.S.3d 3 [1st Dept. 2016] ). While defendant alleged that he had never lived in Florida, the evidence showed the contrary. In 2011, defendant filed for bankruptcy, listing the Florida address as his residence. He failed to establish an alternative dwelling or usual place of abode where he could have been served (see Martinez , 139 A.D.3d at 549, 34 N.Y.S.3d 3 ).
