N.Y. Real Property Law § 416: Proceedings to register mortgage, lease or other lien or charge

§ 416. Proceedings to register mortgage, lease or other lien or

charge. On the filing of the instrument creating such mortgage, lease

or other lien or charge in the registrar's office and the production of

the duplicate certificate of title, he shall enter upon the certificate

of title and upon the duplicate certificate a memorial thereof and the

date of filing the instrument with a reference to its file number, which

memorial shall be signed by the registrar who shall deliver to the

person filing such instrument a certified copy of such instrument, if it

is a mortgage, certified to be the "registration copy of mortgage." The

registrar shall also note upon the instrument filed the number of the

certificate on which the memorial is entered. Any mortgage registered

pursuant to this section shall be subject to the provisions of article

eleven of the tax law (being chapter sixty-two of the laws of nineteen

hundred nine), and amendments thereof in the same manner as if said

mortgage were recorded, as provided by section two hundred fifty-three

of said tax law.
