Insufficient Notice and Improper Service
Summary proceedings are special proceedings created by legislation (see RPAPL art 7) and, therefore, in derogation of the common law. Rules governing summary proceedings must be strictly construed, especially on jurisdictional questions (see Williams v Llorente, 115 Misc 2d 171, 172 [App Term, 1st Dept, 1st Jud Dist 1982] citing Beach v McGovern, 41 AD 381, 383 [2d Dept 1899]). Petitioners must strictly abide by the RPAPL to benefit from the efficiency that summary proceeding provide as compared to plenary actions (see Columbus Prop. Inc. v I S K S Realty Corp., 163 Misc 2d 446, 448 [Civ Ct, New York County 1994, Stallman, J.]).
