THE BANK DID NOT DEMONSTRATE: (1) STANDING TO BRING THE FORECLOSURE ACTION; (2) COMPLIANCE WITH THE NOTICE PROVISION IN THE MORTGAGE; AND (3), COMPLIANCE WITH THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OF RPAPL 1304 (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the bank did not demonstrate standing to bring the foreclosure action and did not demonstrate compliance with the notice provision of the mortgage and RPAPL 1304:

… [T]he record does not reflect that a copy of the endorsed note was attached to the summons and complaint when the action was commenced … . Moreover, the plaintiff failed to establish its status as the holder of the note at the time of commencement of the action … . * * *

The plaintiff failed to establish … it complied with the condition precedent contained in the mortgage agreement, which required that it provide the defendant with a notice of default prior to demanding payment of the loan in full. The evidence submitted by the plaintiff did not establish that a notice of default was mailed by first-class mail or actually delivered to the defendant’s “notice address” if sent by other means, as required by the terms of the mortgage agreement … . [Plaintiff] failed to provide proof of a standard office mailing procedure and provided no independent evidence of the actual mailing … . For the same reason, the plaintiff failed to establish … it sent the defendant the required notice under RPAPL 1304 … . Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v Crosby, 2022 NY Slip Op 00402, Second Dept 1-26-22
