EQUITIES CORP v. GREGORY (2019)

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, New York,

U.S. EQUITIES CORP., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Lloydon E. GREGORY, Defendant-Respondent.

570232 /19

Decided: October 24, 2019

PRESENT: Ling-Cohan, J.P., Gonzalez, J.

Order (Bianka Perez, J.), entered May 9, 2019, affirmed, without costs.

Defendant's sworn affidavit disputing that he had a “co-tenant” or anyone living in the apartment matching the description of the person served, was sufficient to rebut the presumption of proper service and require a traverse hearing (see NYCTL 1998-1 Trust & Bank of NY v. Rabinowitz, 7 AD3d 459, 460 [2004]; Midland Funding LLC v. Hernandez, 64 Misc 3d 129[A], 2019 NY Slip Op 51029[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2019]; cf. Reliable Abstract Co., LLC v. 45 John Lofts, LLC, 152 AD3d 429 [2017], lv dismissed 30 NY3d 1056 [2018]).

Contrary to plaintiff's contention, there is no competent proof in the record evidencing that defendant willingly acceded to the terms of the judgment.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
