DEFENDANT IN THIS CONDOMINIUM ACTION WAS NOT ENTITLED TO A MANDATORY FORECLOSURE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE.

The First Department determined the defendant in this condominium foreclosure action was not entitled to a mandatory mortgage foreclosure settlement conference. The court had ordered settlement conferences in the past and defendant had refused to participate:

The express language of the condominium’s bylaws permitted the appointment of a receiver, without notice, to collect unpaid common charges in this foreclosure action. Further, the record demonstrates that while defendant, an owner of an apartment in the condominium, paid maintenance arrears after plaintiff board filed a notice of lien and commenced the action to foreclose on the lien, she still owed plaintiff for assessments, late fees and associated attorney’s fees. Accordingly, plaintiff was entitled to seek judgment for these fees, which constitute common charges under the bylaws… . We reject defendant’s claim that she was entitled to a mandatory mortgage foreclosure settlement conference, particularly since the court directed the parties to engage in settlement conferences to resolve this matter, and it appears that defendant, for the most part, refused to participate. Board of Mgrs. of St. James’s Tower Condominium v Kutler, 2017 NY Slip Op 03605, 1st Dept 5-4-17
