PLAINTIFF BANK DID NOT DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE NOTICE OF DEFAULT PROVISIONS OF THE MORTGAGE AND THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OF REAL PROPERTY ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS LAW (RPAPL) 1304; PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff bank did not submit sufficient evidence of compliance with the notice-of-default provisions of the mortgage and did not demonstrate the loan was a reverse mortgage exempt from the notice requirement of Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) 1304:

Although the plaintiff submitted a purported notice of default … , the plaintiff failed to submit an affidavit attesting to the mailing of the purported … notice, whether it was mailed at all, and if so, whether the mailing was by first class mail or, if otherwise, whether notice was actually delivered to [defendant’s] notice address, as required by the provisions in sections 15 and 22 of the mortgage agreement. …

… [T]he attorney’s affirmation submitted by the plaintiff which stated that the purported … notice was “in full compliance with the terms of the mortgage” was unsubstantiated and conclusory. Neither the attorney’s affirmation nor the copy of the purported … notice established “that the required notice was mailed by first class mail or actually delivered to the notice address if sent by other means, as required by the mortgage agreement” … . …

… [T]he plaintiff also failed to establish, as a matter of law, its compliance with the 90-day notice requirements of RPAPL 1304. “[P]roper service of RPAPL 1304 notice on the borrower or borrowers is a condition precedent to the commencement of a foreclosure action, and the plaintiff has the burden of establishing satisfaction of this condition” … . Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v Crimi, 2020 NY Slip Op 03376, Second Dept 6-17-20
