L & B 595 Madison Inc. v. Susan Sheehan, Inc

In L & B 595 Madison Inc. v. Susan Sheehan, Inc., NYLJ, August 31, 1994, page 22, col.6, the Civil Court, New York County held that not only does RPAPL 711(2) not require a signature, but that under New York General Construction Law 46 a typewritten signature is clearly valid. New York General Construction Law 46 provides, in pertinent part that "the term signature includes any ... mark or sign, written, printed stamped...." Therefore, a rent demand that contains a typewritten signature that clearly delineates the petitioner's name and "his capacity as landlord of the premises" is jurisdictionally sufficient. Sober v. Baker, NYLJ, April 14, 1998, page 27, col. 3, (Civ Ct., Kings Co)
