§ 1972. Notice. 1. If the department proposes to institute proceedings pursuant  to this article, it may file a copy of the certification and a notice of intention to commence such proceedings in the  office  of  the clerk  of the county in which the dwelling is located. Such notice shall contain the names of all persons required to be served pursuant to  this section  and shall otherwise meet the requirements of subdivision (b) of section six thousand five hundred eleven of the civil practice  law  and rules. The notice shall be indexed by the clerk in the manner prescribed by  subdivision  (c)  of  section sixty-five hundred eleven of the civil practice law and rules for a notice of pendency of action and shall have the same effect as such notice. It shall expire one year  after  filing, if  no proceeding pursuant to this article has been commenced. Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the provisions of  article  sixty-five of  the  civil  practice law and rules shall be applicable to the notice filed pursuant to this article.   2. The department shall serve upon the owner of the dwelling,  a  copy of  the certification. Service shall be made personally or by posting in a conspicuous place upon the dwelling and mailing a copy  by  registered or  certified  mail  to  the last known owner at such owner's last known address. In the case of a dwelling subject to the provisions of  section three hundred twenty-five of the multiple dwelling law, such mailing may be made to the last registered owner at his last registered address. The copy  of the certification shall be accompanied by a notice stating that proceedings pursuant to this title may be instituted  unless  the  owner notifies  the  department that the property has not been abandoned. Such notification shall be made by a showing that the conditions  upon  which the  findings  in such certification are based do not exist or have been corrected. Such showing shall be made not later than thirty  days  after the date of such notice.   3.  Within  five days of the service of notice on the owner, a copy of the certification shall be served on each mortgagee, lienor  and  lessee of  record, personally or by registered mail to the address set forth in the recorded instrument or, if no address appears therein, to the person at whose request the instrument was recorded. Such copy  shall,  in  the case  of  a  mortgagee  or  lienor,  be  accompanied  by  a  notice that proceedings pursuant to  this  article  may  be  instituted  unless  the mortgagee  or  lienor,  within  fifteen  days  of  such  mailing, either commences proceedings to foreclose the mortgage or lien or  enters  into an  agreement  with the department to bring the building into compliance with the applicable provisions of law.   4. If the name or address of  (a) the last owner of record; or  (b) any owner, mortgagee, lienor, or  claimant  as  shown  on  records maintained  by  any  city official required by any local law to maintain records of persons entitled to notice or process in connection with  the maintenance of in rem foreclosure actions;  (c)  the  person  listed  as  the  owner of the property on the latest completed assessment roll, is different from that referred to in subdivisions two and three of this section, a copy of the notice to the owner, or to a mortgagee or lienor, whichever is applicable, shall also be  sent  to  such  person  at  such address by registered mail.
