THE AFFIDAVIT SUPPORTING THE ADMISSIBILITY OF THE BUSINESS RECORDS OFFERED BY THE BANK IN THIS FORECLOSURE PROCEEDING DID NOT LAY A SUFFICIENT EVIDENTIARY FOUNDATION FOR THE RECORDS, RENDERING THE AFFIDAVIT INADMISSIBLE HEARSAY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determine the evidentiary foundation for the business records submitted by plaintiff bank (JPMorgan) in this foreclosure action was inadequate:

JPMorgan submitted, among other things, the affidavit of Nathan Abelin, a document management specialist for FNMA’s loan servicer, Seturus, Inc. (hereinafter Seturus), who, based upon his review of business records, attested to the defendant’s default in payment, JPMorgan’s standing to commence the action, and JPMorgan’s compliance with RPAPL 1304. Although Abelin averred that he was personally familiar with Seturus’s record-keeping practices and procedures, the business records he relied upon and attached to the affidavit were created by JPMorgan and another entity. Abelin failed to lay a proper foundation for these records because he did not aver either that he had personal knowledge of those entities’ business practices and procedures, or that the records “were incorporated into [Seturus’s] own records and routinely relied upon by [Seturus] in its own business”… . Accordingly, Abelin’s affidavit constituted inadmissible hearsay and lacked probative value … . Federal Natl. Mtge. Assn. v Allanah, 2021 NY Slip Op 07269, Second Dept 12-22-21
