N.Y. Tax Law § 288-A
If the tax commission believes that the collection of any tax will be jeopardized by delay it may determine the amount of such tax and assess the same, together with all interest and penalties provided by law, against any person liable therefor prior to the filing of his return and prior to the date when his return is required to be filed. The amount so determined shall become due and payable to the tax commission by the person against whom such a jeopardy assessment is made, as soon as notice thereof is given to him personally or by registered or certified mail. The provisions of section two hundred eighty-eight of this article shall apply to any such determination except to the extent that they may be inconsistent with the provisions of this section. The tax commission shall abate any jeopardy assessment if it finds that jeopardy does not exist. The collection of any jeopardy assessment may be stayed by filing with the tax commission a bond issued by a surety company authorized to transact business in this state and approved by the superintendent of financial services as to solvency and responsibility, or such other security acceptable to the tax commission, conditioned upon payment of the amount assessed and interest thereon, or any lesser amount to which such assessment may be reduced by the tax commission or by a proceeding under article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules as provided in section two hundred eighty-eight of this article, such payment to be made when the assessment or any such reduction thereof shall have become final and not subject to further review. If such a bond is filed and thereafter a proceeding under article seventy-eight is commenced as provided in subdivision five of section two hundred eighty-eight of this article, deposit of the taxes, penalties and interest assessed shall not be required as a condition precedent to the commencement of such proceeding. Where a jeopardy assessment is made, any property seized for the collection of the tax shall not be sold (1) until expiration of the time to apply for a hearing as provided in section two hundred eighty-eight of this article, and (2) if such application is timely filed, until the expiration of four months after the tax commission has given notice of its determination to the person against whom the assessment is made; provided, however, such property may be sold at any time if such person has failed to attend a hearing of which he has been duly notified, or if he consents to the sale, or if the tax commission determines that the expenses of conservation and maintenance will greatly reduce the net proceeds, or if the property is perishable.
