Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 16, 2001
285 A.D.2d 547 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

Submitted May 18, 2001.

July 16, 2001.

In a proceeding pursuant to Lien Law 19(6) to discharge a mechanic's lien, B. G. Schefa Development Corp. appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Weiner, J.), entered March 1, 2000, which denied its petition, granted the cross petition of Michael Peragine, d/b/a Peragine Construction Maintenance Contractors, to amend the notice of lien nunc pro tunc pursuant to Lien Law 12-a, and denied the motion of DeStaso Enterprises, Ltd., to dismiss the cross petition insofar as asserted against it. ORDERED that the appeal from so much of the order as denied the motion of DeStaso Enterprises, Ltd., is dismissed, as the appellant is not aggrieved by that portion of the order (see, CPLR 5511); and it is further,

Donald Tirschwell, New City, N.Y., for appellant.

Birbrower, Montalbano, Condon Frank, P.C., New City, N.Y. (Richard H. Sarajian of counsel), for respondent.

Before: MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, LEO F. McGINITY, BARRY A. COZIER, JJ.


ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as reviewed; and it is further,

ORDERED that Michael Peragine, d/b/a Peragine Construction Maintenance Contractors, is awarded one bill of costs.

The Supreme Court properly denied the petition to discharge the mechanic's lien filed by the respondent, Michael Peragine, d/b/a Peragine Construction Maintenance Contractors (hereinafter Peragine), as the notice of lien substantially complied with the requirements of Lien Law 9 (see, Fyfe v. Sound Dev. Co., 235 N.Y. 266; Matter of Nimke v. Inta-State, 34 A.D.2d 675). Further, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in granting Peragine's cross petition to amend the notice of lien nunc pro tunc, inter alia, to correct certain typographical errors (see, Lien Law 12-a).

The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.

ALTMAN, J.P., KRAUSMAN, McGINITY and COZIER, JJ., concur.
