STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE PROVISIONS IN RPAPL 1304 IS REQUIRED; HERE THE BANK FAILED TO SHOW THAT IT SENT RPAPL 1304 NOTICES ADDRESSED INDIVIDUALLY TO DEFENDANTS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the bank’s failure to comply with the notice of foreclosure requirements of RPAPL 1304 precluded summary judgment:

RPAPL 1304(1) provides that “at least ninety days before a lender, an assignee or a mortgage loan servicer commences legal action against the borrower, . . . including mortgage foreclosure, such lender, assignee or mortgage loan servicer shall give notice to the borrower.” “Strict compliance with RPAPL 1304 notice to the borrower or borrowers is a condition precedent to the commencement of a foreclosure action” … . RPAPL 1304(2) states that “[t]he notices required by this section shall be sent by the lender, assignee or mortgage loan servicer in a separate envelope from any other mailing or notice” … .

… [A] “‘defense based on noncompliance with RPAPL 1304 may be raised at any time'” prior to the entry of a judgment of foreclosure and sale … . … [T]he plaintiff failed to establish its strict compliance with the service requirements of RPAPL 1304. … [T]he plaintiff failed to show that it sent RPAPL 1304 notices addressed individually to each of those defendants as required by the statute … . HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v Stein, 2025 NY Slip Op 04638, Second Dept 8-13-25

Practice Point: Strict compliance with the notice of foreclosure provisions of RPAPL 1304 is required. The notices must be sent to defendants individually.
