§ 404. Summons; personal jurisdiction by acts of non-residents. (a)
Acts which are the basis of jurisdiction. The court may exercise
personal jurisdiction over any non-resident of the city of New York, or
his executor or administrator, as to a cause of action arising from any
of the acts enumerated in this section, in the same manner as if he were
a domiciliary of the state and a resident of the city of New York if, in
person or through an agent, he:

1. transacts any business within the city of New York or contracts
anywhere to supply goods or services in the city of New York; or

2. commits a tortious act within the city of New York, except as to a
cause of action for defamation of character arising from the act; or

3. owns, uses or possesses any real property situated within the city
of New York.

(b) Service of summons. Service of summons under this section may be
made in such manner and at such place, regardless of city or state
lines, as would confer jurisdiction on supreme court in a like case.

(c) Effect of appearance. Where personal jurisdiction is based solely
upon this section, an appearance does not confer such jurisdiction with
respect to causes of action not arising from an act enumerated in this
section.

(d) Corporation or association. If service of the summons cannot be
effected by personal delivery thereof within the city of New York so as
to acquire in personam jurisdiction of a corporation or unincorporated
association, such corporation or association shall be deemed a
non-resident of the city of New York for purposes of this section.
