The landlord has self-remedies, up to a point. But landlords cannot issue a "legal judgement". The landlord can deduct damages and unpaid rent from your security deposit, and the landlord or tenant can seek legal resolution.

Can your commercial landlord convert your written lease to an oral lease without notice within the term of the written lease?

Generally once a lease is signed the terms cannot be amended unless all parties agree. The determination of what can and cannot be done is decided by the wording of the original agreement. However, a supposedly "oral/verbal" contract is difficult for a landlord to prove if it becomes an issue for the court. If the tenant did not agree to any amendment action being acceptable when the original contract was entered into, the landlord cannot arbitrarily make changes to the agreement.

Can a landlord sue you for damages if they have already received a default judgment?

Maybe, it depends upon the specifics of the case, for example if there were more then one debtor the plaintiff should have sued both at the same time although in some US states that is not a requirement. If the second suit pertains to the same issue as the first where a default judgment was entered, the first judgment will automatically be quashed and the decision made at the new hearing (trial) will take precedence.

Can a lien be placed on a house to allow personal property to be recovered from the residence in New York?

The usual method for recovering property left in a residence that the present tenant or landlord refuses to release is through small claims court. The owner of the personal property must file a claim in court and win a judgment. The court would issue an order for the recovery of the property or money damages, not a lien. In most cases in is illegal for someone to hold personal property unless the holder has a court order allowing the action or a judgment for debt owed.
