Filing or Removing a Mechanic's Lien in New York
At Kushnick & Associates, P.C., we handle all aspects of mechanic's liens, including:
- Lien filing
- Foreclosure and enforcement of a lien
- Lien removal
- Actions for undertaking and bonding a lien
- Related actions to stay foreclosure
- Lien dismissal and/or lien exaggeration
When filing a mechanic's lien, it is important to strictly adhere to the law. In New York, there are restrictions that outline when a lien may be filed and the length of time that the property owner must be afforded before proceedings may be brought against that owner. Contractors and sub-contractors may both file liens if they have not been paid.
In any dispute, it is preferable if both parties are able to work out the situation before it progresses to the point of a mechanic's lien. Our lawyers will advise our clients that it is often in their best interests to ensure that the property remains intact and that everyone can get paid for their work. Sometimes, with a little creative problem solving, these issues can be resolved without the unnecessary cost and time spent on a lien or on further issues of litigation.
