Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
We agree with the Supreme Court that the mere slipping of the papers between the screen door and the doorjamb was not a proper "affixing" as required by the statute. "The affixing of a summons to the door is to be accomplished by use of a nail, tack, tape, rubber band or some other device which will ensure a genuine adherence" (PacAmor Bearings v. Foley, 92 A.D.2d 959, 960, citing Siegel, N.Y. Prac § 74).
Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly vacated the default judgment on the basis that service was ineffective due to the improper "affixing". Lawrence, J.P., Eiber, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
