N.Y. Real Property Actions & Proceedings Law § 747: Judgment

§ 747. Judgment. 1. The court shall direct that a final judgment be

entered determining the rights of the parties. The judgment shall award

to the successful party the costs of the special proceeding.

2. The judgment shall not bar an action to recover the possession of

real property. The judgment shall not bar an action, proceeding or

counterclaim, commenced or interposed within sixty days of entry of the

judgment, for affirmative equitable relief which was not sought by

counterclaim in the proceeding because of the limited jurisdiction of

the court.

3. If the proceeding is founded upon an allegation of forcible entry

or forcible holding out the court may award to the successful party a

fixed sum as costs, not exceeding fifty dollars, in addition to his

disbursements.

4. The judgment, including such money as it may award for rent or

otherwise, may be docketed in such books as the court maintains for

recording the steps in a summary proceeding; unless a rule of the court,

or the court by order in a given case, otherwise provides, such judgment

need not be recorded or docketed in the books, if separately maintained,

in which are docketed money judgments in an action.
