§ 358. Sale of premises. At any time after the entry of any judgment
establishing a lien upon such premises the department, if there be no
stay pending appeal, may apply to the court for leave to sell such
premises. Upon such application the court may order such premises sold
at public auction, subject to taxes, assessments, water rates, mortgages
and mechanics' liens. The deed to the purchaser shall be made by the
department. The justices of the appellate division of the supreme court
of any judicial department may establish rules of practice which shall
be followed by the department charged with the enforcement of this
chapter in the conduct of such sales in such judicial department.
