While it is clearly a default to change owners, the mortgage company will not care as long as it gets paid. Also, it is impossible to remove someone from a deed without their knowledge. The only way to be removed from title is to sign a deed, which is an acknowledged document.

Call 311 in NYC. The Department of Buildings can issue a violation.

You did not state the reason for the failure of your defense, but you are not handling this correctly, and you should really talk to a lawyer if the sum being sought justifies it. You should answer to avoid default, and not re-make the same motion you already lost. Service issues are not relevant... View More

Initiate a chargeback with your bank. Make sure you do it within the required time.

Yes, it is shared. But, you need to bring a partition action in Supreme Court if you want something to happen here.

Based on your post, you own the work and do not owe any royalty.

You definitely have personal liability for both judgments if they pursue you. I am not sure if the judgment is in your name or not. If not, there would need to be a new suit to make you responsible, but you would lose the suit.

A corporate resolution authorizing signature on whatever needs to be signed.
