N.Y. Real Property Actions & Proceedings Law § 1073

§ 1073. Interlocutory judgment for sale. Where the plaintiff's consent\nhas been filed as prescribed in section 1071 and she is entitled to an\ninterlocutory judgment in the action, the court must, upon the\napplication of either party, ascertain, by reference or otherwise,\nwhether a distinct parcel of the property can be admeasured and laid off\nto the plaintiff, as tenant in dower, without material injury to the\ninterests of the parties. If it appears to the court that a distinct\nparcel cannot be so admeasured and laid off, the interlocutory judgment\nmust, except in the case specified in the section 1074, direct that the\nproperty be sold by the sheriff, or by a referee designated therein; and\nthat, upon the confirmation of the sale, each party to the action, and\nevery person deriving title from, through, or under a party, after the\nfiling of the judgment-roll, or of a notice of the pendency of the\naction as prescribed by law, be barred of and from any right, title, or\ninterest in or to the property sold.\n
