No. A11A0554.
Court of Appeals of Georgia.

ANDREWS, Judge.
On appeal from a grant of summary judgment enforcing a subcontractor's lien, the defendant owner of the property argues that the lien is defective because the legal description referred to in the lien listed only one of the many condominium units on the property. We affirm.
On appeal from a grant of a motion for summary judgment, we review the evidence de novo, viewing it in the light most favorable to the non-movant, to determine whether a genuine issue of fact remains and whether the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Rubin v. Cello Corp., 235 Ga.App. 250, 510 S.E.2d 541 (1998).
So viewed, the record shows that 3400 Partners, LLC, the owner of a 60-unit condominium and retail complex located at 3400 Malone Drive in Atlanta, hired a general contractor, MGP, Inc., who hired Maria O. Chavez d/b/a Parra Construction (Parra), as a concrete and painting subcontractor. After 3400 Partners failed to pay Parra's bills, Parra timely filed a materialmen's lien on the property as specified in OCGA § 44-14-361.1. The lien listed the property as "3400 Malone Drive, Chamblee, Georgia 30341 (See Exhibit A)," and added that "[t]his lien is claimed, separately and severally, as to all buildings and improvements thereon, and the said land." The legal description attached as "Exhibit A" denoted the property, however, as "all that tract or parcel of land lying and being in land lot 299, 18th District, Chamblee Section, Dekalb County, Georgia, and being Unit No. 311, 3400 Malone Condominium." (Emphasis supplied.) The legal description also referred to plat book pages containing drawings of the entire complex.
As condition precedent to this action to enforce the lien, Parra obtained a consent judgment against 3400 Partners in its favor in the amount of $185,746.25. See OCGA § 44-14-361.1(a) (specifying procedure for perfecting a lien, including commencing an action to recover the amount claimed within 12 months of when the claim became due); Few v. Capitol Materials, 274 Ga. 784, 784-785(1), 559 S.E.2d 429 (2002).
As the parties have agreed, the only issue on appeal is whether Parra's lien is invalid as a result of the property description's reference to a single unit of the complex. Mull v. Mickey's Lumber & Supply Co., 218 Ga.App. 343, 344(2), 461 S.E.2d 270 (1995) (sufficiency of a lien's legal description is a question of law for the court).
It is true that "[t]he creation of liens under [OCGA] § 44-14-361.1 is in derogation of the common law," and that "strict compliance with the requirements of [the statute] is required." Consolidated Systems v. AMISUB, Inc., 261 Ga. 590, 591(1), 408 S.E.2d 109 (1991). As our Supreme Court has recently emphasized, however, "[i]t is only when a description [of property] is manifestly too meager, imperfect, or uncertain to serve as adequate means of identification that the court can adjudge the description insufficient as a matter of law." Deljoo v. SunTrust Mtg., 284 Ga. 438, 440, 668 S.E.2d 245 (2008). Thus this Court has previously enforced liens whose legal descriptions contained surplusage, omissions, and even errors. See North v. Waffle House, 177 Ga. App. 162, 163, 338 S.E.2d 750 (1985) (tracts not owned by the defendant); Love v. Hockenhull, 91 Ga.App. 877, 878, 87 S.E.2d 352 (1955) (multiple street numbers); Southwire *21 Co. v. Metal Equip. Co., 129 Ga.App. 49, 198 S.E.2d 687 (1973) (land lot number and description of buildings and tanks but no street number); Grubb v. Woodglenn Properties, 220 Ga.App. 902, 905(4), 470 S.E.2d 455 (1996) (incorrect plat book page number).
This description's apparent limitation of the lien to "Unit 311" of the subject property stands in contradiction to all the remaining evidence in the case, both intrinsic and extrinsic, including (a) the lien's assertion of an interest in "all buildings and improvements" on the property; (b) the description's own reference to plat book drawings of the entire project; (c) a letter from 3400 Partners about Parra's "work done at 3400 Malone Drive" without limitation to any particular unit; and (d) the disproportion between the nearly $186,000 worth of work Parra performed concerning all 60 units and the less than $200,000 market value of individual units in the complex. In short, "there is no evidence that the parties were confused" about the property on which the lien was imposed. See CDM Custom Homes v. Windham, 280 Ga.App. 728, 734(3), 634 S.E.2d 780 (2006) (enforcing specific performance where a contract description was sufficient extrinsic evidence to perfect the legal description of the property).
3400 Partners seeks to forestall this conclusion by pointing to Bollers v. Noir Enterprises, 297 Ga.App. 435, 677 S.E.2d 338 (2009), in which we invalidated three liens containing "as many as three separate property descriptions." Id. at 442(3), 677 S.E.2d 338. As we pointed out, however, the Bollers liens referred to addresses in different cities, while their legal descriptions referred to "different, presumably larger tracts of land than the property described" in the deeds. Id. By contrast, the single lien at issue here contains a proper street and city address and a specification that it applies to "all buildings and improvements thereon." The Bollers lienholder also failed to offer extrinsic evidence to explain the discrepancies, id. at 442-443(3), 677 S.E.2d 338, whereas Parra attached a letter to its complaint tending to show that Parra had worked on the entire complex, and not simply at one unit of that complex. For all these reasons, we affirm the trial court's grant of summary judgment to Parra concerning the enforceability of its lien.
Judgment affirmed.
PHIPPS, P.J., and McFADDEN, J., concur.
