N.Y. Public Officers Law § 13: Notice of neglect to file oath or undertaking

§ 13. Notice of neglect to file oath or undertaking. The officer or

body making the appointment or certificate of election of a public

officer shall, if the officer be required to give an official

undertaking to be filed in an office other than that in which the

written appointment or certificate of election is to be filed, forthwith

give written notice of such appointment or election to the officer in

whose office the undertaking is to be filed. If any officer shall

neglect, within the time required by law, to take and file an official

oath, or execute and file an official undertaking, the officer, with

whom or in whose office such oath or undertaking is required to be

filed, shall forthwith give notice of such neglect, if of an appointive

officer, to the authority appointing such officer; if of an elective

officer, to the officer, board or body authorized to fill a vacancy in

such office, if any, or if none and a vacancy in the office may be

filled by a special election, to the officer, board or body authorized

to call or give notice of a special election to fill such vacancy;

except that the notice of failure of a justice of the peace to file his

official oath, shall be given to the town clerk of the town for which

the justice was elected.
