N.Y. Personal Property Law § 347: Liability of assignees

§ 347. Liability of assignees. Except where the assignment is

involuntary or as otherwise specifically provided in this article, any

civil action for a violation of this article which may be brought

against a lessor may be maintained against any subsequent assignee of

the lessor only if the violation for which the action or proceeding is

brought is apparent on the face of the lease application or the retail

lease agreement. For purposes of this section, a violation is apparent

on the face of these documents if:

1. The agreement contains a disclosure which can be determined to be

incomplete or inaccurate from the face of the agreement or other

documents assigned; or

2. The agreement or application either contains a prohibited provision

or does not contain the notices, legend or items required by this

article.
