BILL NUMBER: S4190

SPONSOR: KENNEDY
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the real property actions and
proceedings law and the civil practice law and rules, in relation to
including the name and telephone number of the mortgage servicer for a
plaintiff in a mortgage foreclosure action on certain documents pertain-
ing to such action

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to require the loan servicer's name and
phone number be included at multiple points in mortgage foreclosu re
proceedings.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends section 1321 of the real property actions and
proceedings law to have the name and telephone number of the mortgage
servicer added to the order of reference for plaintiffs who are involved
in a mortgage foreclosure of a one- to four-family residenti al proper-

ty.

Section 2 amends section 1351 of the real property actions and
proceedings law to have the name and telephone number of the mortgage
servicer added to the judgement for plaintiffs who are involved in a
mortgage foreclosure of a one- to four-family residential proper ty.

Section 3 amends rule 6511 of the civil practice law and rules to
require the name and telephone number of the mortgage servicer adde d to
the notice of pendency for plaintiffs who are involved in a mortgage
foreclosure of a one-to four-family residential property.

Section 4 sets the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Zombie properties put all neighborhoods at risk because abandoned homes
invite crime, lower property values and place an undue burden on local
governments. The New York State Abandoned Property Neighborhood Relief
Act of 2016 addressed many of these problems by requiring a loan servi-
cer, whether a bank or other entity, to maintain the residential proper-
ty on a delinquent mortgage.

This proposed legislation will fill in some of the gaps by requiring
that a mortgage servicer's name and telephone number be listed f or any
mortgage foreclosure of a one- to four-family residential property in a
Notice of Pendency (Lis Pendens), the Order of Reference, and the Judge-
ment of Sale.

With this information listed, local municipal officials will have an
efficient way to contact the loan servicer to ensure that mainte nance
obligations are enforced.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

   § 3. Subdivision (b) of rule 6511 of the civil practice law and rules,
