New York Laws
Article 6 - Acquisition of Property by the City
52 - Maps and Plans to Be Filed.

§ 52. Maps and plans to be filed. The board of transportation shall
cause three similar maps or plans to be made of each parcel of property
which it may deem necessary so to be acquired, or to which there may be
appurtenant property rights necessary so to be acquired or extinguished,
designating each of such parcels by a number. Upon each map or plan so
made or in a memorandum accompanying it and to be deemed part thereof
such board shall cause to be clearly indicated the particular property
rights to be acquired or extinguished for the purposes of this chapter,
together with the assessed valuation of the fee on the tax rolls of the
city for each of the three years preceding the date of the approval and
adoption of such map or plan by such board, in relation to each and
every piece or parcel of property described upon such map or plan. Such
board shall have power to cause a triplicate set of maps or plans and
memoranda as herein provided for to be made as often and at such times
as they shall determine, and each set of maps or plans and memoranda so
made shall contain the particulars above enumerated within such district
as such board shall in each case provide. The maps or plans and
memoranda provided for by this section, when approved and adopted by
such board, shall have written thereon a certificate of such approval,
signed by the members of the board adopting and approving it, and one
copy thereof shall be filed in the office of the president of the
borough, there to remain as a public record, and the other two sets of
maps or plans and memoranda shall be transmitted to the corporation
counsel. Such board, from time to time, may make and file further maps
or plans and memoranda amending those already filed, but not so as to
defeat or impair any property or interest which shall have been already
acquired, or to revive any property right which may have been already
extinguished by the city.
