The court properly determined that plaintiff had failed to substantially comply with Lien Law § 9. Although each of the defects in plaintiff's September 2014 lien, standing alone, could have been amended (see Lien Law § 12–a ), here, where there are no fewer than four defects, it cannot be said that plaintiff substantially complied with the Lien Law (see Matter of Diamond Architecturals v. EFCO Corp. , 179 A.D.2d 420, 578 N.Y.S.2d 553 [1st Dept. 1992], appeal dismissed 80 N.Y.2d 919, 589 N.Y.S.2d 303, 602 N.E.2d 1119 [1992] ; Empire Pile Driving Corp. v. Hylan Sanitary Serv. , 32 A.D.2d 563, 300 N.Y.S.2d 434 [2d Dept. 1969] ).
We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
