The county clerks of the counties  of  New  York,  Bronx,  Kings and Queens shall continue to index under the proper  block numbers all instruments now required by law to be recorded in  the  books  of  notices  of  lis  pendens.  Such block index of notice of lis  pendens shall be entitled "the block index of notice of lis pendens" and  shall be ruled for entering therein the date of filing,  the  nature  of  the  action,  the  nature of the instrument, the court and index number,  the first named defendant, the first named plaintiff, the lot number  or  street address, if any, the microfilm number and the proceedings had.    b.  The  county  clerk of each of such counties shall also continue to  index under the proper block numbers all statutory notices of  liens  or  claims  on land other than lis pendens which may be filed or recorded in  his office, which index shall be entitled "the block index of liens" and  shall be ruled for entering therein the date of filing,  the  nature  of  the  instrument,  the  owner of the premises affected by the notice, the  name and address of the lienor by whom the claim is  made,  the  amount,  the lot number or street address, if any, and the proceeding had.    c.  On  and  after July first, nineteen hundred sixty-four, the use of  land maps in the offices of the clerks of  the  counties  of  New  York,  Bronx,  Kings  and  Queens  shall  be  discontinued,  and  the land maps  previously in use shall remain on file for the purpose of reference.  On  and  after such date, the tax maps for the boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx,  Brooklyn and Queens shall be substituted for the land  maps  theretofore  in  use  for  the  counties  of  New  York, Bronx, Kings and Queens, and  reference shall be had to  such  tax  maps  and  to  the  block  numbers  designated  thereon  for the purpose of indexing instruments required to  be indexed in the block index of notice of lis pendens or in  the  block  index  of liens. Such tax maps shall be conclusive as to the location of  block boundaries and block number designations. The  tax  map  for  each  borough  may  be  referred  to as the land map for the particular county  which it affects.    d. Except in the counties where  existing  land  and  tax  blocks  are  presently   identical,   on  and  after  July  first,  nineteen  hundred  sixty-four, the indices of all blocks theretofore existing in the  block  index  of notice of lis pendens and in the block index of liens shall be  closed except for the purpose of completing the indexing of  instruments  filed  prior  to  such date. New block indices shall thereupon be opened  for the block index of notice of lis pendens and for the block index  of  liens,  which  new  indices  shall be numbered to conform with the block  numbers designated on the tax map of  the  borough  for  the  particular  county  to  which it relates and which shall thenceforth be used for all  entries relating to land in such blocks. The date of  closing  shall  be  entered  at  the end of each block index so closed and a reference shall  be made to the block number of the corresponding block in the new  block  index.  All  such  new  block  indices  shall  be endorsed on the covers  thereof so as to show the date of the opening thereof.    e. Whenever  the  boundaries  of  any  block  on  the  tax  map  shall  thereafter  be  changed  or altered and renumbered according to law, the  block indices of notice of lis  pendens  and  of  liens  of  such  block  theretofore existing comprising the land in the changed or altered block  so  renumbered  as aforesaid shall, except for the purpose of completing  the indexing of instruments filed prior to such change or alteration and  renumbering be closed and discontinued and new block indices  of  notice  of  lis  pendens  and of liens shall be opened for every such renumbered  block, which new  index  shall  thenceforth  be  used  for  all  entries  relating  to land in such block. The date of closing shall be entered at  the end of each block index so closed and a reference shall be  made  tothe  number  of  every new, changed or altered block to be used in place  thereof. The date of opening shall be entered at the beginning of  every  new block index, with a reference to the number of every block before in  use for the land contained in such new block.    f.  Every  instrument  presented  to  a  county  clerk  for filing and  required to be indexed in the block index of notice of lis pendens or in  the block index of liens in order to entitle the same to be filed  shall  have  endorsed  thereon the number of every block on the current tax map  in which the land affected by such instrument is situate.    g. The county clerk of each of such counties, so long as he  deems  it  expedient,  may  prepare  alphabetical  indices  of  the  parties to the  instruments mentioned in this subdivision, or to any of them,  filed  in  his  office,  and  of  the  owners of land against which liens have been  filed and  of  judgment  debtors  whose  names  appear  on  record.  The  particular  form  of  such  alphabetical indices shall be as such county  clerk shall determine, and shall cover such periods and be brought  down  to such dates as he shall direct in respect to his own office.    h.  Whenever any instrument entitled to be filed and indexed under the  provisions of this subdivision shall  be  presented  for  record,  there  shall  forthwith  be  endorsed  thereon the date, hour and minute of its  receipt and the same shall be entered in  the  proper  index  under  the  proper  block  number  thereof in accordance with the items set forth in  paragraph a or paragraph b hereof.    i. The entries made in the block indices of notice of lis pendens  and  of  liens  in conformity with the requirements of this subdivision shall  for the purpose of notice be deemed and taken to be a part of the record  of the instrument to which such entries respectively refer, and shall be  notice to subsequent purchasers or incumbrances to the same  extent  and  with like effect as the filing of such instruments in the office of such  county clerks now is or may be notice.    j.  In  cases  where  any  instrument  shall  have  been filed with an  erroneous designation, such county clerk on presentation of proper proof  thereof shall enter such instrument in the proper index under the proper  block number of every block, the designation of which  shall  have  been  erroneously  stated. He shall at the same time make a note of such entry  and of the date thereof in every place in which such instrument may have  been erroneously indexed, opposite the entry thereof, and also upon  the  instrument  itself,  if the same be in his possession or produced to him  for the purpose, and the record of such instrument shall be constructive  notice as to the property in any block not duly designated at  the  time  of  such  filing  only  from  the  time  when the same shall be properly  indexed.
