PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING NOTICE CAREFULLY. iii. states an amount that can be paid in order to cure the default iv. 12 months b. Additional Requirements i.

Must include a list of at least 5 local housing counseling agencies ( that serve in the region where the borrower resides ) 1. *There is currently no definition to the term region iii. iv. Must be mailed in a separate envelope from any other mailing or notice Must be a home loan 1. Definition of home loan a. (1) borrower is a natural person b. (2) debt incurred primarily for personal, family, or household purposes c. (3) loan secured by a mortgage on real estate of one to four family dwelling used or intended to be used as the borrower s primary dwelling d. (4) property located in New York c. Failure to send this notice requires dismissal of the action. Aurora Loan Servs. v. Weisblum, 85 A.D.3d 95, N.Y.S.2d 609, 616 (2d Dep t 2011); see also Deutsche Bank Nat l Trust Co. v. Spanos, 102 A.D.3d 909, 910, 961 N.Y.S.2d 200, 202 (2d Dep t 2013); Meyerson Capital X LLC v. Kats, 33 Misc.3d 1017, , 935 N.Y.S.2d 257, 259 (Sup. Ct. Kings Co. 2011). i. There are very few cases that address the circumstances in which a 90-day notice is excused for non-residency 83 1
4 1. NOT an excuse service elsewhere, even out of state. IndyMac Federal Bank, FSB v. Black, No. 2268/06, 2009 WL (Sup. Ct. Rensselaer Co. Jan. 23, 2009). 2. NOT enough proof that the mortgaged premises was not borrower s primary residence bank affidavit and affirmation of counsel in support of its position when the mortgage loan documents and loan application evidenced borrower s intention to occupy the premises as her primary residence.

Hughes, 22 Misc.3d 323, , 866 N.Y.S.2d 860, 863 (Sup. Ct. Essex Co. 2008) concluded that residency is determined from the time the loan was entered into and noted that the goal of RPAPL 1304 regarding occupancy is to remove owners of investment properties or second homes from the ambit of the statute 1. Therefore, when evaluating residency, important documents that may support an argument for excusing the 90-day notice include: a. Original loan application b. Tax returns, W-2s, Bank Statements, Earnings Statements (compelling proof of borrower s alternative residence). Butler Capital Corp. v. Canasta, 26 Misc.3d 598, , 891 N.Y.S.2d 238, 243 (Sup. Ct. Suffolk Co. 2009) i. See also HSBC Bank USA, Nat l Ass n v. McKenna, 37 Misc.3d 885, , 952 N.Y.S.2d 746, (Sup. Ct. Kings Co. 2012) court still found the mortgaged property to be the borrower s residence, and thus, a 90-notice was necessary 2. RPAPL 1306: filing 90-day notice with Department of Financial Services a. A lender, assignee, or mortgage loan servicer must file the 90-day notice, and other certain information, with the Superintendent of the Department of Financial Services within 3 business days after (i) the mailing of the 90-day pre-foreclosure notice [or] (ii) the notice required by Section 9-611(f) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code (non-judicial foreclosure of a co-op share). b.

Goal: to reach a monthly payment of principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI) that is 31% of the borrower s monthly gross income 2. Follows a waterfall analysis to get to the 31% target payment a. Reduce interest rate to as low as 2% b. Extend term of years to 40 years c.

(1) Capitalize delinquent interest and late fees b. (2) Forgive principal to achieve 25% DTI, not requiring LTV below 100% c. (3) After step #2, if DTI is greater than 31%, reduce interest down to 2% to achieve 31% DTI, calculating interest steps as in HAMP d. (4) After step #3, if DTI is greater than 31%, forbear principal to achieve 31% DTI e. (5) Limit forbearance and forgiveness to not result in less than 70% LTV f. (6) NPV must be positive i.
