THE FACT THAT THE DEFENDANT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY DID NOT RELIEVE THE PLAINTIFF OF THE OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OF REAL PROPERTY ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS LAW (RPAPL) 1304; PLAINTIFF’S SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the fact that defendant had filed for bankruptcy did not relieve the plaintiff in this foreclosure action from the obligation to comply with the notice requirements of Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) 1304:

… [T]he plaintiff submitted, among other things, the affidavit of Kyle Lukas, a Senior Loan Analyst for … the purported parent company of the plaintiff’s loan servicer. Lukas averred that a 90-day notice was not required to be sent to the defendant pursuant to RPAPL 1304(3) due to the defendant’s bankruptcy filing … . In addition, while the plaintiff submitted, inter alia, copies of the note and mortgage, the pleadings, and the notice of default, it did not submit any documentation evidencing service of the 90-day notice required by RPAPL 1304. Contrary to the plaintiff’s contention, the fact that the defendant previously filed for bankruptcy protection did not relieve the plaintiff of its obligation to send the RPAPL 1304 notice to her prior to commencing the action … . Accordingly, since the plaintiff did not demonstrate its strict compliance with the statute, the Supreme Court should have denied those branches of the plaintiff’s motion which were for summary judgment on the complaint insofar as asserted against the defendant, to strike her answer, and for an order of reference, regardless of the sufficiency of the opposing papers … . Mastr Adjustable Rate Mtges.
