Executing a nonpayment judgement in NYC

[Nicole (Dunlap) Pendergrass]

Hi all,

I received a judegment against my tenants and the eviction has already happened. But apparently the Marshal I used does not find employment/banking info (even for a fee) for the tenants in order to execute the judgement - I need to give them that info and then they will collect. They recommended a private investigator to me. So I called him and a few other PIs just for price comparison. But in speaking to the PIs, I've realized that they each have access to certain systems and try to downplay what other PIs use, saying I need to be careful bc some PIs will promise they can do certain things but then can't. So now I'm concerned and want to make sure I pick someone who is thorough and has the correct type of access to find the information needed (esp bc their services aren't cheap and I am low on funds since the tenants weren't paying for so long - I can't afford to pay someone else to do something that shouldve been done right the first time).

I guess I'm just looking for clarification on how executing a judgement really works in NYC? Has anyone gone through it? Does anyone have a good Marshal or private investigator that was succesful in finding all financial accounts, employment info and/or other assets that could be garnished?
