1 Year lien renewal in Dutchess County NY. Residential property. Can I file an extension or must I file a lawsuit now?

New YorkMechanics Lien

Working on a residential single family home in Dutchess County NY. Job 90% completed when customer kept demanding that additional work be done, on top of job already contracted for. Refusal until job 1 was completed led to job being stopped at that point. I gave the bill for the services completed up until that point. Customer refused to pay. I filed a mechanics lien. Now it is up for renewal.

You can either start the foreclosure action, or you can start a special proceeding to have the court enter an order extending the mechanic's lien for another year.
