THE PROOF THE FORECLOSURE NOTICE WAS MAILED IN ACCORDANCE WITH RPAPL 1304 WAS INSUFFICIENT (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the mortgage company in this foreclosure action did not demonstrate compliance the the notice requirements of RPAPL 1304:

… [T]he copy of the notice contains no indication that it was sent by registered or certified mail, or by first-class mail … . Nor is there “[a] copy of any United States Post Office document indicating that the notice was sent by registered or certified mail as required by the statute” … . … [The affiant] did not attest to having any personal knowledge of, or familiarity with, [the company’s] actual standard mailing procedures during the relevant time period, which were designed to ensure that items are properly addressed and mailed … . Accordingly, [the affiant’s] assertion in his affidavit that the RPAPL 1304 notice was sent to the defendant on March 14, 2013, at the address of the mortgaged premises, “by registered or certified and first-class mail,” was unsubstantiated and conclusory … . Ditech Servicing, LLC v McFadden, 2023 NY Slip Op 03452, Second Dept 6-28-23

Practice Point: Yet another instance of the failure to prove the notice of foreclosure was mailed in accordance with RPAPL 1304.
