N.Y. Lien Law § 208: Judgment

§ 208. Judgment. In an action brought in a court specified in the last

section, final judgment, in favor of the plaintiff, must specify the

amount of the lien or the monetary obligation secured by the security

interest, and direct a sale of the chattel to satisfy the same and the

costs, if any, by a referee appointed thereby, or an officer designated

therein, in like manner as where a sheriff sells personal property by

virtue of an execution; and the application by him of the proceeds of

the sale, less his fees and expenses, to the payment of the amount of

the lien or the monetary obligation secured by the security interest,

and the costs of the action. It must also provide for the payment of the

surplus to the owner of the chattel, and for the safe keeping of the

surplus, if necessary, until it is claimed by him. If a defendant, upon

whom the summons is personally served, is liable for the amount of the

lien or the monetary obligation secured by the security interest, or for

any part thereof, it may also award payment accordingly.
