| Decision Date | 04 May 1993 |
| Citation | 193 A.D.2d 387,597 N.Y.S.2d 48 |
| Parties | BANQUE ARABE ET INTERNATIONALE D'INVESTISSEMENT, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. ONE TIMES SQUARE ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, et al., etc., Defendants, and Van Wagner Communications, Inc., Defendant-Appellant. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Before MILONAS, J.P., and ROSENBERGER, ELLERIN and KUPFERMAN, JJ.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Karla Moskowitz, J.), entered on or about August 20, 1992, which denied defendant-appellant's cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, and order, same court and justice, entered October 29, 1992, which, inter alia, again denied such cross motion and granted plaintiff's cross motion for summary judgment, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The instant mortgage foreclosure action is authorized notwithstanding that plaintiff, a foreign banking corporation that maintains a representative office in New York (Banking Law §§ 221-a, 221-b[3], although properly registered is unlicensed (Banking Law § 200[4]; Commonwealth Bank & Trust Co. v. Tioga Mills, Inc., 78 A.D.2d 953, 433 N.Y.S.2d 519; Skylake State Bank v. Solar Heat & Insulation of Central Utah, Inc., 148 Misc.2d 32, 559 N.Y.S.2d 930). Nor should plaintiff be estopped from maintaining the action against defendant, a lessee whose rights were expressly subordinated to the mortgage under foreclosure, absent a showing of any misrepresentation or other affirmative wrongdoing by plaintiff.
Moreover, defendant's request that plaintiff provide it with a non-disturbance agreement as a means of avoiding the subordination clause, first made two months after the foreclosure action had commenced, shows that the required element of reliance upon any claimed misrepresentation was lacking.
