May 9, 2006.
In an action, inter alia, for a judgment declaring the parties' rights and obligations under a commercial lease, the defendant appeals from a money judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Knipel, J.), dated June 29, 2004, which is in favor of the plaintiff and against it in the principal sum of $16,200.
Rachel Nash, New York, N.Y., for appellant.
Goldman Greenbaum, P.C., New York, N.Y. (Sheldon M. Greenbaum of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Krausman, J.P., Luciano, Fisher and Dillon, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the money judgment is affirmed, with costs.
Despite the defendant's contentions, neither Lien Law § 39 nor the lease prohibited the plaintiff from entering the money judgment as a lien against the subject premises. The money judgment dated June 29, 2004 was properly entered through the signature of the court clerk ( see CPLR 5016), and once that judgment was properly entered, "by operation of law, [it] created a lien on the defendant's real property in [Kings] county," including the subject premises ( Bank of N.Y. v. Magri, 226 AD2d 412; see CPLR 5018 [a]; 5203; Matter of Leonard v. Brescia Lbr. Corp., 174 AD2d 621, 622).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
