Levy upon real property
§ 5235. Levy upon real property. After the expiration of ten years after the filing of the judgment-roll, the sheriff shall levy upon any interest of the judgment debtor in real property, pursuant to an execution other than one issued upon a judgment for any part of a mortgage debt upon the property, by filing with the clerk of the county in which the property is located a notice of levy describing the judgment, the execution and the property. The clerk shall record and index the notice against the name of the judgment debtor, or against the property, in the same books, and in the same manner as a notice of the pendency of an action.
After 10 years from filing the judgment-roll, the sheriff levies on the debtor's real property by filing a notice of levy with the county clerk, who records/indexes it like a notice of pendency.
