You should ask the court to enforce the judgement.
You'll have to find the jurisdiction of the court and then google it to see how they do this.
As an example, this is what they do in British courts:

The courts will have more resources than you to enforce a judgement. It's not up to you to do this.

You may be able to get his address from the public records. The city or county treasurer should have a record of where the tax bills are mailed. You might check court records. If you got a judgment against him, he had to be served with a notice that he was being sued. This would be at a specific address, unless he was served by public notice. Court records might show if he is involved in any other lawsuits or if he was ever arrested. An arrest should show his address and date of birth. You will not find his social security number. Go to the government agency that does Section 8, ask them for help. You might be able to get a photocopy of the front and back of one of the checks. This would give you the name of his bank for a garnishment. If this doesn't work, and if you have his home address, you might try to file a lien against his home. This lien would be good until he sells his home. Your claim would be after the mortgage.

What you got is a judgement issued by the court. The COURT, not you, collects the judgement.
I can tell you know, a court doesn't do anything to enforce the order, other than reporting it to credit unless you have an attorney that will petition to have wages garnished, and those are RARELY given.
It sits on your landlord's credit, until he tries to buy property again, and that is where he'll be forced to pay the judgement.
Be sure the court that issued the judgement always has current information on how to contact you in the event they receive payment.
Your landlord CANNOT pay you directly, because the court has to have proof the judgement is paid and issue a "paid judgement" notice to the credit bureaus.

If you are an adult, and competent, the dough is yours. If you are a minor, then the lawsuit was brought in the parent's name and they are ultimately responsible and can take the money or not as they see fit.
