PLAINTIFF BANK DID NOT LAY A SUFFICIENT FOUNDATION FOR BUSINESS RECORDS SUBMITTED TO PROVE COMPLIANCE WITH THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS OF RPAPL 1304 (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the bank’s motion for summary judgment in this foreclosure action should not have been granted because the evidence of compliance with the notice requirements of Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) 1304 was insufficient:

The plaintiff in this mortgage foreclosure action, on its motion, inter alia, for summary judgment on the complaint … failed to demonstrate, prima facie, its compliance with RPAPL 1304 because it failed to lay a proper foundation for the business records submitted as proof that the RPAPL 1304 notice was sent by first-class mail (see RPAPL 1304[2]; CPLR 4518[a]). In particular, the representative of the plaintiff who attempted to lay such a foundation failed to attest either that the records, which were created by a different entity, were incorporated into the plaintiff’s records and routinely relied upon by the plaintiff in its business, or that she had personal knowledge of that entity’s business practices and procedures … . Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Hirsch, 2020 NY Slip Op 04996, Second Dept 9-16-20
