Enforcement Services

The primary function of this office is the execution of money judgments. This includes wage garnishments (income execution) and bank levies (freezing and seizing bank account funds) to satisfy debts owed to creditors. Additionally, the Marshal performs evictions (removing tenants and restoring possession to landlords) and serves legal process. The office also has the authority to tow and seize vehicles for unpaid parking violations or judgments.

• Income Execution: Garnishing a portion of a debtor's salary.
• Evictions: Enforcing warrants of eviction for residential and commercial properties.
• Vehicle Seizure: Towing operations for judgment enforcement.

Important Information for Debtors

Individuals receiving a notice of garnishment or levy from this office should contact the staff immediately to discuss payment options or legal rights. Marshals earn fees (poundage) added to the judgment amount. Payments for judgments typically require certified funds (money orders, cashier's checks) or cash; personal checks are rarely accepted for final judgment satisfaction. The office at 350 Broadway helps process these payments and release holds on accounts once debts are satisfied. 👮‍♂️📜💰🏢⚖️🔨🔓
