2006 New York Code - Prevention Of Waste Or Damage During Pendency.

 
    §  211.  Prevention of waste or damage during pendency. If, during the
  pendency of an action to recover a judgment affecting the title  to,  or
  the  possession,  use  or  enjoyment  of, real property, a party commits
  waste upon, or does any other damage to, the  property  in  controversy,
  the  court  may  grant, without notice or security, an order restraining
  him from the commission of any further  waste  upon  or  damage  to  the
  property. Disobedience to such an order may be punished as a contempt of
  the  court.  This  section  does  not affect the right to a permanent or
  temporary injunction in such an action.
