Greene v. Geiger

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1899-07-01

Appeal by the defendant, Elizabeth Geiger, from a final order of the Municipal Court of the city of New York, in summary proceedings to recover possession of real property. •

Relies on Benjamin v. . Benjamin

Decided 1899-07-01

Cullen, J.:

¶1• This proceeding was instituted by the purchaser at a sale on a judgment in a foreclosure action, to remove a tenant in possession of the mortgaged premises who had been made a party to the action. These proceedings are statutory in derogation of the common law, and there is no jurisdiction to entertain them except in the cases provided by statute. (Benjamin v. Benjamin, 5 N. Y. 383.) Whatever may have been the case under the act of 1874 (Chap. 208, amdg. subd. 4, § 28, art. 2, title 10, chap. 8,- part 3 of the Revised Statutes), now, by .the express terms of subdivision 2 of’ section 2232 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the remedy of summary proceedings is confined to foreclosures under title 9, chapter 17 of' that Code (§§ 2387-2409), which relates only to foreclosures by advertisement. On this ground it was held in State ex rel. Dewey v. Burdick (5 N. Y. Supp. 363) that summary proceedings would not lie on a foreclosure of a mortgage made to the loan commissioners.. The respondent’s remedy is by application in the foreclosure suit for an order in the nature of a writ of assistance. (Code Civ. Proc. § 1675.) •

¶2The final order should be reversed, with costs.
