The Predicate Notices Were Not UnequivocalPredicate notices must be clear, unambiguous, and unequivocal to properly apprise a respondent of the action being brought against them (see Lehtonen v Dellaquila, 67 Misc 3d 139 [App Term, 2d Dept, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2020]). Predicate notices are unamendable (see Chinatown Apts., Inc. v Chu Cho Lam, 51 NY2d 786 [1980]), and a defective predicate notice deprives the court of subject matter jurisdiction (see Bray Realty, LLC v Pilaj, 59 Misc 3d [*3]130[A], 2018 NY Slip Op 50426[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2018]) and risks confusion of the claims being asserted (see Jewish Theological Seminary of America v Fitzer, 258 AD2d 337 [1st Dept 2018]).
