N.Y. State Law § 59-a: Notice to owners

§ 59-a. Notice to owners. The adjutant general shall, upon the filing

of the certified copy of such survey, map and certificates in the office

of such county clerk, serve upon the owners of the lands, and the

structures and waters thereon, included in such survey, and upon all

persons, corporations or municipalities having any estate or interest

therein, a notice of the filing of such survey, map and certificates as

above provided, which notice shall specifically describe that portion of

the property belonging to the owner which has been so appropriated for

the purposes hereinbefore prescribed. If the adjutant general is not

able to serve such notice upon the owner of such property or the person

or corporation having an estate or interest therein, after making

reasonable effort to do so, or if he is unable to ascertain the persons,

corporations or municipalities owning such lands and the structures and

waters thereon, or is unable to discover the character of the estate or

interest in and to such lands, of any person, corporation or

municipality, he shall cause such notice to be published at least once

in a newspaper published in the county where such land or any portion

thereof is situated, and in such other newspapers as he may deem

advisable.
