Section 1344. Filing, content and indexing of notice of pendency

1. Filing.
  In a case specified in section one thousand three hundred forty-three of
  this  article the notice of pendency shall be filed in the office of the
  clerk of any county where property affected is situated, before or after
  service of a summons and at any time prior to judgment.  Unless  it  has
  already been filed in that county, the complaint shall be filed with the
  notice of pendency.
    2. Content, designation of index. A notice of pendency shall state the
  names  of  the  parties to the action, that the action is for forfeiture
  pursuant to this article and a description of the property  affected.  A
  notice  of pendency filed with a clerk who maintains a block index shall
  contain a designation of the number of each block on the land map  of  a
  county  which is affected by the notice. A notice of pendency filed with
  a clerk who does not maintain a block index shall contain a  designation
  of the names of each defendant against whom the notice is directed to be
  indexed.
    3. Indexing. Each county clerk with whom a notice of pendency is filed
  shall  immediately  record  and  index  it  against  the blocks or names
  designated. A county clerk who does not maintain  a  block  index  shall
  index  a notice of pendency of an action for partition against the names
  of each claiming authority and each defendant not designated  as  wholly
  fictitious.
