COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER

VINCENT CARUSO,

Petitioner, Petition to Discharge a Mortgage pursuant to RPAPL 1931

-against-

Index no:

ASSOCIATED FINANCIAL SERVICES

COMPANY OF NEW YORK,

Respondent.

Vincent Caruso, the Petitioner, hereby set forth the following facts under oath:

1. I am the Petitioner in this matter which seeks to extinguish as paid four (4) mortgages (an original and 3 subsequently consolidations and extensions) all held by defendant Associated Financial Services Company of New York, which appear as a lien of record against my home located at 490 West William Street, Port Chester, New York (the “Mortgaged Premises”).

2.The Annexed hereto as Exhibit “A” is a copy of the Title Report of the Mortgage Premises. The Mortgage Schedule identifies Mortgages #1, #2, #3 and #4 as open mortgages held by the defendant. I am one of the mortgagors. My mother and father (Mary A. Caruso and Nicola J. Caruso) were also mortgagors of these 4 Mortgages, although both have since died. Their death certificates are annexed as Exhibit “B”.

3.Mortgage #1 was for $21,477.91 and it was taken out in 1981; Mortgage #2 was a consolidation and extension of Mortgage #1 in 1984, bringing the mortgage lien to $36,500.00; Mortgage #3 was another consolidation and extension in 1984 which brought the total lien amount to $66,149.99 and lastly, Mortgage #4 was a final consolidation and extension on October 4, 1985, which brough the total lien to $79,456.64.

4.This Court’s attention is drawn to the Mortgage Schedule in the Title Report at Exhibit “A”. As this Court can observe, my parents refinanced the 4 consolidated mortgages held by the defendant at Citibank which issued a new loan secured by a first mortgage of $105,000 on August 8, 1991. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, no satisfaction of the defendant’s mortgages was allegedly filed with the County Clerk’s office after the Citibank Mortgage was taken out.

5.A review of New York State’s Corporation database confirms that the defendant was “merged out of existence” in 1999 after a merger with Associates Financial Services Co., Inc. (See Exhibit “C”). A search of Associates Financial Services Co., Inc. on the same NYS database confirmed that Associates Financial Services Co., Inc. was terminated on March 21, 2003. (See Exhibit “D”).

6.Consequently, there is no entity that can be contacted to confirm that these mortgages were paid off and satisfied when the Mortgage Premises was refinanced by Citibank in 1991 (Mortgage #5 on Ex. “A”).

7.I am advised by my attorney that per RPAPL 1931, if the mortgagee is a corporation that has ceased to exist or is out of business for at least 5 years, that the Court may issue an Order that these ancient mortgages are presumed paid. I personally participated with my parents in that refinance with Citibank in 1991 (Mortgage # 5) and can advise the Court, under oath, that the defendants consolidated mortgage #4 was fully paid and satisfied with the proceeds from the Citibank refinance (Mortgage #5) in 1991.

8.For these reasons I respectfully ask that this Court issue such Order as it deems appropriate including but not limited to an Order discharging of record the 4 mortgages of the defendant mortgagee identified on the title report annexed as Exhibit “A”.

Dated: August 5, 2024
