§ 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.
