Brownell v. Feingold

In Brownell v. Feingold (82 AD2d 844, [2d Dept 1981]), plaintiff mailed a copy of the summons and complaint to defendant's last known residence at 29 Frankie Lane, Bethpage, NY 11714, but defendant's correct address was 29 Frankie Lane, Old Bethpage, NY 11804. The court sustained service of process, stating: "we cannot agree with the defendant's suggestion that any mistake in the address to which the summons is mailed -- no matter how minor -- will render the service of process void. Where, despite an error in the address, it is virtually certain that the summons will arrive at the defendant's last known residence, the 'mailing' requirement of 'delivery and mail' service should be considered satisfied"
