Universal Citation: NY CPLR § 6218 (2022)
§  6218.  Sheriff's duties after levy. (a) Retention of property.  The
sheriff  shall  hold  and  safely  keep  all  property  or  debts  paid,
delivered,  transferred  or assigned to him or taken into his custody to
answer any judgment that may be obtained against the  defendant  in  the
action, unless otherwise directed by the court or the plaintiff, subject
to  the  payment of the sheriff's fees and expenses.  Any money shall be
held for the benefit of the parties to the action in an interest-bearing
trust account at a national or state bank or  trust  company.    If  the
urgency  of  the  case  requires,  the  court  may  direct sale or other
disposition of property, specifying the manner and terms  thereof,  with
notice to the parties to the action and the garnishee who had possession
of such property.

(b) Inventory. Within fifteen days after service of an order of attachment or forthwith after such order has been vacated or annulled, the sheriff shall file an inventory of property seized, a description of real property levied upon, the names and addresses of all persons served with the order of attachment, and an estimate of the value of all property levied upon.
