N.Y. Transportation Corporations Law Section 83
Condemnation of real property

In case such corporation is unable to agree for the purchase of any real property required for the purposes of its incorporation, and its route in the county in which such real property is situated has been finally located, it shall have the right to acquire title thereto by condemnation, but such corporation shall not locate its route or construct any line of pipe through or under any building, dooryard, lawn, garden or orchard, except by the consent of the owner thereof in writing duly acknowledged, nor through any cemetery or burial ground, nor within one hundred feet of any building except where such line is authorized by public officers to be laid across or upon any public highway, and shall not construct any line of pipe that supports facilities or infrastructure associated with exploration, development, or production of oil or natural gas in federal waters located in the north Atlantic planning area. No such corporation shall lay or construct its line of pipe through or under a street in any city, unless it shall first obtain the consent of a majority of the owners of property abutting on that portion of the street in which its pipe line is to be laid. Such pipe line shall be laid with reasonable care and prudence.
