THE BANK DID NOT DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OF RPAPL 1304 IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the bank in this foreclosure action did not present sufficient proof of compliance with the notice requirements of RPAPL 1304:

… [A]lthough the affidavit of the servicing agent stated that the 90-day notice was mailed to the defendant by certified mail and regular first-class mail, the affiant did not attest to having personally mailed the notices, nor that she was familiar with the mailing procedures of the entity that mailed the notices and that such procedures were designed to ensure that the notices were properly addressed and mailed …  The plaintiff also failed to submit documentation from the United States Postal Service proving the first-class mailing of the 90-day notice to the defendant … . U.S. Bank Trust, N.A. v Smith, 2023 NY Slip Op 03372, Second Dept 6-21-23

Practice Point: Once again, failure to demonstrate the RPAPL 1304 notice of foreclosure was properly mailed results in reversal of summary judgment.
