Am I responsible for a mechanic lien for work done to my property prior to owning it

Hello, I purchased a condo in January of 2018 in California, two months later a mechanics lien was placed on my property two months later. I reside in an HOA and was unaware at the time of purchase they had a pending ligation with a former contractor who had done work on the property. The HOA had found out the contractor did not have a current license or insurance. Am I responsible for the lien? Thank you, Ashley Olguin
