“BEACH 12,” A NONPARTY WHICH BECAME TITLE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AFTER PLAINTIFF FILED THE NOTICE OF PENDENCY, WAS ENTITLED TO INTERVENE IN THE FORECLOSURE ACTION AS OF RIGHT; CRITERIA EXPLAINED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined an nonparty (Beach 12) was entitled to intervene in the foreclosure action as of right:

“Upon a timely motion, a person is permitted to intervene as of right when the representation of that person’s interest by the parties is or may be inadequate and the person is or may be bound by the judgment, or when the action involves the disposition of property and that person may be affected adversely by the judgment” (… CPLR 1012[a][2], [3]). “In addition, CPLR 1013 provides that a court has discretion to permit a person to intervene, inter alia, when the person’s claim or defense and the main action have a common question of law or fact” … . “Whether intervention is sought as a matter of right under CPLR 1012(a), or as a matter of discretion under CPLR 1013, is of little practical significance, since intervention should be permitted where the intervenor has a real and substantial interest in the outcome of the proceedings” … . “Intervention may occur at any time, provided that it does not unduly delay the action or prejudice existing parties” … .

… Beach 12 was entitled to intervene [because] this “action involve[s] the disposition of title to real property” and … Beach 12, which became the title owner of the premises after the plaintiff’s filing of a notice of pendency, “would be bound and adversely affected by a judgment of foreclosure and sale” … . Bank of Am., N.A. v Reed, 2025 NY Slip Op 03695, Second Dept 6-18-25

Practice Point: Consult this decision the criteria for a nonparty’s intervention in a foreclosure action.
