N.Y. Real Property Actions & Proceedings Law § 661: Liability of purchaser pending an action

§ 661. Liability of purchaser pending an action. If the defendant

aliens the real property in question after the filing of a notice of

pendency of the action, and an execution against him for the plaintiff's

damages is returned wholly or partly unsatisfied, an action may be

maintained by the plaintiff against any person who has been in

possession of the property, under the defendant's conveyance, to recover

the unsatisfied portion of the damages, for a time not exceeding that

during which he possessed the property.
