A mechanics lien is a powerful tool that contractors and suppliers can use in the event that they do not get paid for their work or materials. When unpaid on a construction project, qualified claimants can file a Pennsylvania mechanics lien against the property where labor and/or materials were furnished.

This form meets the requirements set forth in Pennsylvania statute.
Rules and regulations for sending a Pennsylvania Mechanics Lien
Pennsylvania liens - called a "Claim of Lien" - must be filed within 6 months from when the claimant completes its work on the project. This deadline marks the end of the six month period from when you last furnished labor and/or materials to the project, and accordingly, the filing of your lien claim is due.
After completing the Pennsylvania Subcontractor Mechanics Lien Form, you must deliver it to the appropriate parties required by statute. Notices are typically served on the property owner and, for sub-tier parties, the general contractor. However, depending on the type of notice, it can be helpful to send notices to anyone else who is in charge of your payment, like a lender or surety company on the project.

Can I file a Mechanics Lien?
If you have performed work on a real property in Pennsylvania pursuant to an agreement with the GC or property owner within the last five months, you have invoiced for the value of that performed work, but you have not yet received payment, you should be able to lien the property. I say five months because it sounds as if you worked as a subcontractor and would therefore need to provide the property owner with written notice of your work/intent to lien at least one month prior to filing the actual lien claim (which must be filed within six months of the date that you last performed contract work on the property).
Do I put a lien on the homeowner's property or the contractor who is not paying us?
The lien is filed against the real property that was improved by the claimant's work. It does not matter whether or not the builder signed a lien waiver to the homeowner, but it would matter if you signed a lien waiver to the GC.
