N.Y. Real Property Law § 333-b: Recording of maps or plot plans

§ 333-b. Recording of maps or plot plans. 1. Notwithstanding any other

provisions of this article, a map or plot plan showing property

boundaries and data not relating to subdivisions and the filing thereof

may be recorded in the same manner as a deed, if the map or plot plan is

attached to the conveying instrument. A map or plot plan recorded

pursuant to this section shall clearly delineate and locate by

dimensions the parcel or interest conveyed in such manner that such

parcel or interest can be located on the premises affected. Such map or

plot plan may appear on one or more pages as needed, shall be drawn on

legal size paper and shall have lettering thereon no smaller than elite

type, and all lines shall be legible and of sufficient size for easy

reading after photocopying or microfilming. The recording officer may

reject or refuse to record any map or plot plan that is unclear, crowded

and not suitable for photocopying.

2. If the property is situated in a county maintaining a tax map

department, it shall be the duty of the person, corporation or agent who

offers such map or plot plan for recording to deliver to and leave with

the recording officer a duplicate copy of the map or plot plan. Such

duplicate copy shall be transmitted to the tax map department on or

before the fifteenth day of each month by the recording officer or by

such other officer or agency as may be designated by the county

legislative body.
