Section 158. Power of comptroller to maintain actions

The comptroller may,
  at any time before the sale of the mortgaged premises, bring  an  action
  to  restrain  the  commission  of waste by any person upon the mortgaged
  premises, or to correct any  mistake  or  omission  in  the  description
  thereof, or to recover the amount due on a mortgage.  At any time before
  payment  and discharge of mortgage or before sale, if any person cuts or
  removes or injures the  timber,  fences,  buildings  or  other  fixtures
  belonging  to  such  mortgaged  premises,  or  threatens  so  to do, the
  comptroller may maintain a like action for damages or an injunction.
