§ 308. Notice of pendency of action. 1. In any action or proceeding
instituted by the department the plaintiff or petitioner may file in the
county clerk's office of the county where the premises affected by such
action or proceeding are situated, a notice of the pendency of such
action or proceeding. Such notice may be filed at any time after the
service of any notice or order issued by the department, at the time of
the commencement of the action or proceeding, or at any time afterwards,
before final judgment or order.

2. Each county clerk with whom such a notice is filed shall record and
index it to the name of each person specified in a direction subscribed
by the corporation counsel or other legal officer of the city.

3. Any such notice may be vacated upon the order of a judge or justice
of the court in which such action or proceeding was instituted or is
pending, or upon the consent in writing of the corporation counsel or
other legal officer of the city. The clerk of the county where such
notice is filed shall mark such notice and any record or docket thereof
as cancelled of record upon the presentation and filing of such consent
or of a certified copy of such order.
