Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol E. Huff, J.), entered April 23, 2015, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, directing that interest on a nuisance abatement charge tax lien on the subject real property would begin to accrue within 20 days of service of notice of entry of said judgment, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, the judgment vacated, the matter remanded to Supreme Court for imposition and calculation of interest accrued since imposition of the lien on September 27, 2004, and entry of judgment in favor of respondent accordingly.
Statutory interest, as on the subject tax lien (Administrative Code of City of N.Y. § 17–151) "continues to accrue at the statutory rate until it is satisfied" (Colgate v. Broadwall Mgt. Corp., 51 A.D.3d 437, 438, 857 N.Y.S.2d 539 [1st Dept.2008] ). The stay of the proceedings effected in April 2006 did not serve to stay the accrual of interest on the lien (see NYCTL 1998–2 Trust v. McGill, 138 A.D.3d 1077, 1079, 30 N.Y.S.3d 308 [2d Dept.2016] ; see also Wiederhorn v. Merkin, 106 A.D.3d 416, 965 N.Y.S.2d 36 [1st Dept.2013], lv. denied 21 N.Y.3d 864, 2013 WL 4563648 [2013] ).
