§ 11-412.6 Discontinuance of summary foreclosure action.
   a.   The commissioner of finance may, prior to final judgment, discontinue the summary foreclosure action described in section 11-412.5 for any of the following reasons, (i) a question which the commissioner deems meritorious has been raised as to the validity of the tax liens affecting the property, (ii) the commissioner of finance has accepted a payment of all taxes and interest which rendered the property subject to such summary foreclosure action because the records in the commissioner's office indicated that the principal amount of such taxes was exceeded by the principal amount of subsequent taxes which would not have rendered the property subject to such summary foreclosure and which had been paid prior to the commencement of such summary foreclosure action or (iii) in cases where the summary foreclosure action cannot be maintained such as, but not limited thereto, where the charges which rendered a property subject to foreclosure hereunder have been cancelled or were paid before the commencement of the summary foreclosure action but such payment was not reported or did not clear for payment until after the commencement of said action.
   b.   To effectuate such discontinuance the commissioner of finance shall deliver a certificate of discontinuance to the corporation counsel who shall file it in the office of the county clerk in which the notice of the summary foreclosure action was filed. The filing of such certificate with such county clerk shall effect a discontinuance of the summary foreclosure action as to the affected parcel, and the county clerk shall thereupon note such discontinuance in the copy of the notice of the summary foreclosure action maintained by him or her adjacent to the county clerk's block index of notices of pendency of action and shall cancel and discharge any and all notations of the filing of said notice of the summary foreclosure action that may appear in any other books, records, indices and dockets maintained in said clerk's office.
   c.   The commissioner of finance shall also deliver a duplicate original certificate of discontinuance to the person entitled to such discontinuance.
   d.   The commissioner of finance shall issue a certificate of discontinuance whenever taxes and interest are paid, cancelled, liquidated or otherwise lawfully disposed of as to any parcel subject to a summary foreclosure action which had been stayed pursuant to subdivision g of section 11-412.5 because an answer or litigation was pending.
