2006 New York Code - Judgment In Action To Foreclose Lien On Account Of Public Improvement.

 
    §  60.  Judgment  in  action  to  foreclose  lien on account of public
  improvement. If, in an action to enforce a lien on account of  a  public
  improvement,  the  court  finds  that  the lien is established, it shall
  render judgment directing the state or the  public  corporation  to  pay
  over to the lienors entitled thereto for work done or material furnished
  for  such  public  improvement,  to the extent of the sums found due the
  lienors from the contractors, so much of the funds or money which may be
  due from the state or public corporation  to  the  contractor,  as  will
  satisfy  such  liens,  with interest and costs, not exceeding the amount
  due to the contractor. If it appears in  any  proceeding  in  which  the
  state is a party that a claim has been or can be filed against the state
  in  the  court of claims, or if it is alleged upon the part of the state
  that the contractor has breached the contract, then the court may render
  judgment only to the extent of determining the establishment of the lien
  or liens, and the amount or amounts thereof.
