THE FORECLOSURE ACTION WAS TIMELY COMMENCED WHEN THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT WERE FILED IN 2013; THE COURT ERRED IN DEEMING THE ACTION COMMENCED WHEN THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT WERE SERVED IN 2022 (THIRD DEPT). ​

The Third Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the foreclosure action was timely, noting that the time the foreclosure action was commenced was when the summons and complaint were filed, not when they were served:

The sole issue this Court is tasked with addressing is whether the action was timely commenced. “An action to foreclose a mortgage is subject to a six-year statute of limitations (see CPLR 213 [4]), which begins to run from the due date of each unpaid installment, from the date the mortgagee is entitled to demand full payment, or from the date the mortgage debt has been accelerated” … . Acceleration occurs when, among other things, a lender demands payment in full by commencing a foreclosure action … . The operative date for determining whether a claim was interposed within the limitations period is the date of commencement, and “an action is commenced upon the filing of the summons and complaint, not service” … .

Supreme Court incorrectly determined that plaintiff’s claim was interposed upon [defendant] Coppola when she was served with process in January 2022, rather than upon the filing of the summons and complaint in September 2013 … . Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Ams. v DiGioia, 2024 NY Slip Op 06403, Third Dept 12-19-24

Practice Point: The foreclosure action was commenced when the summons and complaint were filed in 2013, not when they were served in 2022.
