Loan Agreement Constituted a “Building Loan Contract” within Meaning of Lien Law/Only “Construction Funds” Subject to Subordination Penalty

In a full-fledged opinion by Judge Read, with a concurrence/dissent by Judge Graffeo, the Court of Appeals hashed out the priority of liens, including mechanic’s liens, to be satisfied after the foreclosure on a 10 million dollar construction project in Syracuse.  The Court determined that a loan agreement constituted a “building loan contract” within the meaning of Lien Law section 22, and that only the “construction funds,” as opposed to the total mortgage, were subject to the statutory subordination penalty.  Altshuler Shaham Provident Funds, Ltd v GML Tower, LLC, No 115, CtApp, 6-11-13
