Mortgage foreclosure limitations period
Section 213(4) gives a mortgage foreclosure action a six-year limitations period, which begins to run on the entire debt when the lender accelerates it.
Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v. Ebanks · filed 2020-12-30(4)
The statute of limitations for a mortgage foreclosure action is six years ( see CPLR 213[4]). ... Here, the record establishes that the statute of limitations began to run on August 1, 2007, with the commencement of the 2007 action ( see Wells Fargo Bank, N.A v Maddaloni , 186 AD3d 1587, 1588; Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. v Gambino , 153 AD3d 1232, 1234), as the complaint in the 2007 action contained an election to accelerate the entire debt.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 213(4) gives a mortgagee six years to bring a foreclosure action; for an installment mortgage, the period begins on the entire debt when the mortgagee accelerates it.
Bank of Am., N.A. v. Riche · filed 2021-01-13(4)
An action to foreclose a mortgage is subject to a six-year statute of limitations ( see CPLR 213[4]). Even if a mortgage is payable in installments, the limitation period begins to run on the entire mortgage debt when the mortgagee or its predecessor elects to accelerate the mortgage ( see Ditech Fin., LLC v Reiss , 175 AD3d 618, 619; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Burke , 94 AD3d 980, 982). Contrary to the defendant's contention, the language in the 2008 notice fell short of an actual acceleration ( see Milone v US Bank N.A. , 164 AD3d 145, 152). Accordingly, the debt was not accelerated, and the statute of limitations did not begin to run until the first action was commenced in April 2009.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 213(4) gives a lender six years to bring a mortgage foreclosure action after accelerating the entire debt; discontinuance that says nothing about acceleration does not revoke it.
FV-1, Inc. v. Palaguachi · filed 2021-02-10(4)
An action to foreclose a mortgage is subject to a six-year statute of limitations ( see CPLR 213[4]). ... Here, Gustavia established that the six-year statute of limitations began to run on the entire debt in November 2010, when JP Morgan commenced the prior action to foreclose the subject mortgage. Accordingly, the statute of limitations expired in November 2016, and the instant action, commenced in July 2017, was untimely. Contrary to the Supreme Court's determination, the affirmations of discontinuance and cancellation did not constitute an affirmative act of revocation, since they are silent on the issue of the election to accelerate, and did not otherwise indicate that JP Morgan would accept installment payments from the borrowers ( see Bank of N.Y. Mellon v Craig , 169 AD3d at 629; Freedom Mtge. Corp. v Engel , 163 AD3d at 633).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

This established that the mortgage debt was accelerated in July 2009, and that, without more, the applicable six-year statute of limitations had expired by the time the plaintiff commenced the instant action in February 2016 ( see Albertina Realty Co. v Rosbro Realty Corp. , 258 NY 472, 476; Clayton Natl. v Guldi , 307 AD2d 982).

HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v. Michael · filed 2021-02-17(4)
Here, in support of her motion, the defendant established that the six-year statute of limitations ( see CPLR 213[4]) began to run on the entire debt on May 13, 2009, when the plaintiff accelerated the mortgage debt by its commencement of the 2009 foreclosure action ( see U.S. Bank N.A. v Bernice 380 Corp ., 186 AD3d 1750, 1752). Since the instant action was commenced on February 17, 2016, more than six years after the mortgage debt was accelerated, the defendant sustained her initial burden of demonstrating, prima facie, that the action was untimely ( see id. at 1752; Bank of N.Y. Mellon v Yacoob , 182 AD3d at 568). However, in opposition, the plaintiff raised a triable issue of fact as to whether it timely revoked its election to accelerate the mortgage.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Pryce v. Nationstar Mtge., LLC · filed 2021-04-21(4)
An action to foreclose a mortgage is subject to a six-year statute of limitations ( see CPLR 213[4]). Separate causes of action accrue for each unpaid installment and the statute of limitations begins to run on the date each installment becomes due ( see U.S. Bank N.A. v Joseph , 159 AD3d 968, 970).

Mills v. Deutsche Bank Natl. Trust Co. · filed 2021-04-21(4)
The plaintiff demonstrated her prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on the complaint by establishing that the subject mortgage debt was accelerated in February 2011 by the filing of the complaint in a prior action to foreclose the subject mortgage, which complaint expressly elected to call due the entire amount secured by the mortgage ( see Milone v US Bank N.A. , 164 AD3d 145, 152).

We now find that the voluntary discontinuances of the first and second foreclosure actions constituted affirmative acts of revocation of the prior elections to accelerate as a matter of law ( see Freedom Mortgage Corporation v Engel , 2021 NY Slip Op 01090 at *6-9).

An action to foreclose a mortgage is subject to a six-year statute of limitations ( see CPLR 213[4]). ...

Here, the plaintiff demonstrated, prima facie, that the debt was never validly accelerated by submitting the complaint in the 2009 action, in which GMAC asserted that it was electing to accelerate the debt, and the order dated December 23, 2016, directing dismissal of the complaint in the 2009 action for lack of standing ( see Mejias v Wells Fargo N.A , 186 AD3d at 474; Diji v Deutsche Bank Natl.
