​ PLAINTIFF IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THE NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE WAS MAILED TO DEFENDANT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF RPAPL 1304 (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff in this foreclosure action did not demonstrate the notice of foreclosure was mailed to defendant in accordance with the requirements of RPAPL 1304:

… [T]he plaintiff failed to establish, prima facie, that it strictly complied with RPAPL 1304 … . The plaintiff did not submit proof of actual mailings, such as affidavits of mailing or domestic return receipts with attendant signatures. Further, the plaintiff failed to present sufficient proof of a standard office mailing procedure designed to ensure that items are properly addressed and mailed, including “how the mail was transmitted to the postal service” … . Freedom Mtge. Corp. v King, 2023 NY Slip Op 02105, Second Dept 4-26-23

Practice Point: The plaintiff in this foreclosure action did not prove how the notice of foreclosure was transmitted to the postal service. Therefore compliance with the requirements of RPAPL 1304 was not proven and plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment should not have been granted.
