Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

If the judgment is a money judgment, then it does not matter that specific funds were released to someone else. You can enforce the judgment in the same manner as other judgments, by levying and attaching assets that belong to the judgment debtor.

If the judgment was a specific order of restitution against a named defendant, then you may have to enforce through contempt. This can be very tricky, as contempt is not to be used to enforce money judgments other than family law orders. I do suggest you have this reviewed by a competent attorney.
