N.Y. Real Property Actions & Proceedings Law § 907: Trial of title or interest

§ 907. Trial of title or interest. 1. The title or interest of any

party in the property may be put in issue. When any defendant, not a

tenant in common or joint tenant with plaintiff, puts in issue title or

interest, all subsequent proceedings as to such defendant, including the

trial, judgment and execution, shall be the same as if it were an action

to recover real property.

2. An issue of fact joined in the action is triable by a jury.
