2006 New York Code - Action In A Court Of Record; Consolidation Of Actions.

 
    §  43.  Action  in  a  court  of record; consolidation of actions. The
  provisions of the real property actions and proceedings law relating  to
  actions  for  the  foreclosure of a mortgage upon real property, and the
  sale and the distribution of the proceeds thereof apply to actions in  a
  court of record, to enforce mechanics' liens on real property, except as
  otherwise  provided in this article. If actions are brought by different
  lienors in a court of record, the court in which the  first  action  was
  brought,  may, upon its own motion, or upon the application of any party
  in any of such actions, consolidate all of such actions.
