Cal. Civ. Code § 749-A
New York city marshals
Operative Text
* § 749-a. New York city marshals. A marshal of the city of New York shall provide notice of execution of a warrant of eviction by physical posting of the notice and by an electronic filing. For purposes of this section, "electronic filing" shall mean an electronic filing as described in section twenty-one hundred three-a of the New York city civil court act. * NB Repealed June 30, 2028
Under N.Y. Real Prop. Acts & Proc. Law § 749-A, when a New York City marshal is about to execute a warrant of eviction, the marshal must provide notice through two channels: physically posting the notice at the property and filing the notice electronically through the system described in the New York City Civil Court Act. This dual-notice requirement is designed to ensure that affected parties receive advance warning of an impending eviction execution. The provision is currently set to expire on June 30, 2028, unless the legislature acts to extend or make it permanent.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in New York City should be aware that under § 749-A, the marshal—not the landlord—bears the responsibility for delivering the required physical and electronic notice before executing a warrant of eviction. A compliant operator generally coordinates with the marshal's office to confirm that both notice steps have been completed before any eviction proceeds. Understanding this procedural requirement helps landlords anticipate the timeline between obtaining a warrant and the actual execution of an eviction.

Under § 749-A, tenants facing eviction in New York City are entitled to receive notice of an impending warrant execution both through a physical posting at the property and through an electronic filing with the court. If a tenant believes that a marshal proceeded with an eviction without completing both required notice steps, that procedural gap may be relevant to any challenge or complaint they choose to pursue. Tenants can explore their options by contacting a local tenant-rights organization, reaching out to the New York City Civil Court, or consulting with a housing attorney familiar with marshal procedures.
