Timelines

New York State law and the City’s rules for marshals set the least time that has to pass before certain steps can happen, and the deadlines every New York City Marshal has to meet. For more, visit our Official DOI Resources page.

Choose a kind of matter to see its timeline.

  1. Step 1. The court enters a judgment of possession. The marshal asks the court for the warrant.
  2. Step 2. The notice of eviction is served the same way a notice of petition is served, and posted on the door. Where the case is on the court’s online system, the notice is also filed online within 24 hours.
  3. Step 3. At least 14 calendar days pass. Weekends and holidays count.
  4. Step 4. The earliest possible eviction day is the first business day after those 14 days.
  5. Step 5. The eviction or the legal possession happens on a business day, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Never on a public holiday.
  6. Step 6. Two things send the clock back to the start. 30 days go by from the earliest eviction date and nothing happens. Or a hold ends and the court does not waive a fresh notice. Either way a new notice of eviction is served and the 14 days run again.
  7. Step 7. Within 5 days of the eviction, the office returns the used warrant to the court.

While the office makes every effort to work expeditiously toward resolution of each matter within the above timelines, a matter can still wait for any of the following reasons, including but not limited to:

  • The papers are missing something the court needs.
  • Someone living at the place was never named in the court case.
  • The court has put the case on hold.
  • The notice of eviction has gone stale. A new one is served and the wait starts over.

Income Execution

  1. Step 1. The lawyer or the court clerk issues the paper and delivers it to the office. The first paper in line gets paid first, so the office writes down the date and the time.
  2. Step 2. Within 20 days, the office serves the person who owes the money. That person can pay the office directly.
  3. Step 3. If that person does not start paying within 20 days, or starts and then stops, the office serves the employer.
  4. Step 4. The employer holds back part of each paycheck, within the limit the law sets, and sends it to the office.
  5. Step 5. Within 30 days, the office sends the money on to the person who is owed it, less the fees the law fixes.

While the office makes every effort to work expeditiously toward resolution of each matter within the above timelines, a matter can still wait for any of the following reasons, including but not limited to:

  • The paper is missing something the law says it must have.
  • Nobody has told the office the employer’s name and address.
  • The person who owes the money lives outside the five boroughs. The paper goes to that county’s sheriff first.
  • The person who owes the money has died.

Property Execution (Including a Bank Levy)

  1. Step 1. The paper is delivered to the office with the property named.
  2. Step 2. The office serves the bank, with the notice about protected money and the claim forms. Or it picks up the property and writes down what it took.
  3. Step 3. When a bank account belongs to a person and not a business, the bank holds the money at least 27 days before releasing it.
  4. Step 4. A levy on a bank account, or on money someone else owes, lasts 90 days from the day it is served. A paper that was never served goes back to the court within 60 days, unless a lawyer extends it in writing.

While the office makes every effort to work expeditiously toward resolution of each matter within the above timelines, a matter can still wait for any of the following reasons, including but not limited to:

  • Nobody has told the office which bank or which property.
  • A paper sent to a bank is missing the notice about protected money and the two claim forms.
  • The property is land or a building, which are never included, or the law keeps that property safe from a money judgment.
  • The person who owes the money has died.
