2006 New York Code - Satisfaction Or Protection Of Lien.

 
    §  1076.  Satisfaction  or protection of lien. Where the interlocutory
  judgment directs a sale, if the right  of  dower  of  the  plaintiff  is
  inferior  to  any other lien upon the property, the judgment may, in the
  discretion of the court, direct that the property be sold either subject
  to the lien, or discharged from the lien; and, in the latter case,  that
  the  officer  making  the  sale  pay  the  amount of the lien out of the
  proceeds of the sale.
