LOST NOTE AFFIDAVIT INSUFFICIENT TO ESTABLISH STANDING; PROOF OF COMPLIANCE WITH RPAPL 1304 INSUFFICIENT; OUT OF STATE AFFIDAVIT LACKED A CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY; NEITHER PLAINTIFF NOR DEFENDANT ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff-bank’s motion for summary judgment in this foreclosure action should not have been granted. The lost note affidavit was insufficient to establish standing the proof of compliance with the notice requirements of RPAPL 1304 was insufficient and the out of state affidavit lacked a certificate of conformity. Defendants’ cross-motion for summary judgment, however, was properly denied:

… [T]he plaintiff failed to proffer evidence establishing that the note was assigned to it, and the affidavit of lost note submitted in support of its motion failed to establish the facts that prevented the plaintiff from producing the original note (see UCC 3-804 …). We also note that the out-of-state affidavit from the vice president of loan documentation for Wells Fargo lacked a certificate of conformity as required by CPLR 2309(c), although such defect by itself would not be fatal to the plaintiff’s motion ,,, ,

… [A]lthough the plaintiff submitted a copy of the 90-day notice purportedly sent to the defendants, it failed to submit an affidavit of service or other proof of mailing establishing that it properly served them by registered or certified mail and first-class mail in accordance with RPAPL 1304 … . …

The defendants’ bare denial of receipt of the RPAPL 1304 notice, without more, was insufficient to establish their prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law … . Trust v Moneta, 2020 NY Slip Op 05181, Second Dept 9-30-20
