IN A FORECLOSURE PROCEEDING, THE REAL PROPERTY ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS LAW (RPAPL) 1304 NOTICE MUST BE SENT TO THE BORROWER IN A SEPARATE ENVELOPE; HERE OTHER NOTICES WERE INCLUDED IN THE ENVELOPE ALONG WITH THE RPAPL 1304 NOTICE; DEFENDANT’S SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION WAS PROPERLY GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Duffy, determined, in a foreclosure action, the requirement that the RPAPL 1304 notice be sent to the borrower “in a separate envelope from any other mailing or notice” must be strictly complied. Because other notices were included in the same envelope, the defendant’s motion for summary judgment was properly granted:

… [T]he plaintiff acknowledged that the envelope that it sent to the defendants, which contained the requisite notice under RPAPL 1304, also included other information in two notices pertaining to the rights of a debtor in bankruptcy and in military service. Since the plaintiff failed to establish, prima facie, that it strictly complied with the requirements of RPAPL 1304, the Supreme Court properly denied those branches of its motion which were for summary judgment … . … [O]n his cross motion, [defendant] established his … entitlement to judgment as a matter of law dismissing the complaint … by showing that the plaintiff failed to comply with RPAPL 1304 when it sent additional material in the same envelope as the requisite notice under RPAPL 1304. Bank of Am., N.A. v Kessler, 2021 NY Slip Op 06979, Second Dept 12-15-21
