GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT UPTOWN, LTD. D/B/A GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT AND CARRIE LEVIN, def-res — Order (Paul A. Goetz, J.) entered November 14, 2016, reversed, with $10 costs, defendants’ motion denied, and default judgment reinstated. Appeal from order (Paul A. Goetz, J.), entered April 21, 2016, dismissed, without costs, as academic.

To vacate the default judgment, defendants were required to show a reasonable excuse for the default and a meritorious defense (see John Harris P.C. v. Krauss, 87 AD3d 469 [2011]). Civil Court improvidently exercised its discretion in finding that defendants made these showings. Defendants failed to demonstrate a reasonable excuse for the default. The excuse proffered by defendants’ counsel that defendant Carrie Levin, as guarantor and a principal of the corporate defendant, was not served with process until the additional notice required by CPLR 3215(g)(3) (i) was served upon her at her place of residence, was not supported by an affidavit of a person with personal knowledge (see Lopez-Reyes v. Heriveaux, 144 AD3d 486 [2016]).
