New York Real Property Actions and Proceeding Law Section 1304 requires the mailing of a 90 pre-foreclosure notice to the individuals facing foreclosure. In this case the notice to the individuals was jointly addressed to them.
The appeals court affirmed a judgment in the homeowners favor dismissing Wells Fargo’s foreclosure lawsuit. The Appeals Court in the Second Department ruled to strictly comply with real property actions and proceedings law section 1304 in a foreclosure lawsuit plaintiff must mail a 90 day notice addressed to each borrower in separate envelopes as a precondition to commencing the foreclosure case. Wells Fargo, in this case, had jointly addressed the borrowers with a 90 day notice. This did not comply with the statute and this was the reason for the dismissal of the case.
All of the terms of New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law Section 1304 regarding pre-foreclosure notice to the homeowner’s must be strictly complied with. If the statute is not strictly complied with, the foreclosure lawsuit can be dismissed.
