Finally, it should be noted that the concern expressed by critics of the mandated default procedure—that service has not been properly effected (e.g., Matter of Park Holding Co. v Arber, supra, at 42)—was addressed by Uniform Rules for Trial Courts (22 NYCRR) § 208.42 (i). This provision, commonly known as the "postcard rule”, was adopted to obviate the necessity for ad hoc inquiry into the sufficiency of service. The rule provides for separate notification, in both English and Spanish, of the commencement of a proceeding against the tenant, which is mailed to the respondent-tenant by the clerk when the petition and notice are filed.
