N.Y. Lien Law § 60: 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.
