Practice point: CPLR 6514(a) requires cancellation of a notice of pendency if service of a summons has not been completed within 30 days after the notice is filed, pursuant to CPLR 6512.
Practitioners should note that in multi-defendant cases, there is sufficient service if it is timely made on any one defendant with an ownership interest in the subject property.
Case: Deans v. Sorid, NY Slip Op 08448 (2d Dept. 2008)
The opinion is here.
