N.Y. Village Law Section 6-610
Dedication of streets

An owner of land in a village who has laid out a street thereon may dedicate such street, or any part thereof, or an easement therein, to the village for a public street, or an owner may dedicate for such purpose land not laid out as a street. Upon an offer in writing by the owner to make such a dedication, the board of trustees may, by resolution, determine to accept a dedication of the whole or any part of the land described in such offer or the whole or any part of such street, to be described in such resolution. Upon the adoption of such a resolution the owner may execute and deliver to the village clerk a proper conveyance of the land to be dedicated. The board of trustees may by resolution, accept the conveyance, and the conveyance, shall thereupon be recorded in the office of the county clerk. Upon the acceptance of the conveyance the land described therein shall become and be a public street of the village. No street less than two rods in width shall be accepted by dedication, unless the resolution adopting same is passed by unanimous vote of the board of trustees. All offers of dedication must be entered at length in the minutes of the board of trustees.
