THE BANK DID NOT DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OF RPAPL 1303, INCLUDING THE REQUIRED TYPE SIZE; THE BANK’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the bank in this foreclosure action did not demonstrate compliance with the notice requirements of RPAPL 1303:

“RPAPL 1303 requires that a notice titled ‘Help for Homeowners in Foreclosure’ be delivered to the mortgagor along with the summons and complaint in residential foreclosure actions involving owner-occupied, one- to four-family dwellings” … . “The statute mandates that the notice be in bold, 14-point type and printed on colored paper that is other than the color of the summons and complaint, and that the title of the notice be in bold, 20-point type” … .

Here, the plaintiff failed to establish, prima facie, that it provided notice in compliance with RPAPL 1303. The plaintiff’s submissions did not demonstrate that the notice served upon the defendant complied with the type-size requirements in RPAPL 1303 … . Bank of Am., N.A. v Keefer, 2022 NY Slip Op 02776, Second Dept 4-27-22

Practice Point: In foreclosure actions, the bank must demonstrate strict compliance with the notice provisions of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law. Here the bank did not demonstrate compliance with RPAPL 1303, included the required type size.
