2006 New York Code - Action In Inferior Court.

 
    §  209.  Action  in  inferior  court. Where the action is brought in a
  court, other than one of those specified  in  section  two  hundred  and
  seven,  if the plaintiff is not in possession of the chattel, a warrant,
  commanding the proper officer to seize the chattel, and safely  keep  it
  to  abide  the  judgment,  may be issued, in like manner as a warrant of
  attachment may be issued in an action founded upon a  contract,  brought
  in the same court; and the provisions of law, applicable to a warrant of
  attachment,  issued  out  of  that  court, apply to a warrant, issued as
  prescribed in this section, and to the proceedings to  procure  it,  and
  after it has been issued; except as otherwise specified in the judgment.
  A judgment in favor of the plaintiff, in such an action, must correspond
  to  a  judgment, rendered as prescribed in the last section, except that
  it must direct the sale  of  the  chattel  by  an  officer  to  whom  an
  execution,  issued out of the court, may be directed; and the payment of
  the surplus, if its safekeeping is necessary, to the  county  treasurer,
  for the benefit of the owner.
