Can I file a Mechanics Lien

North CarolinaMechanics Lien

Hello, We have recently halted work on a project due to the lack of payment and were considering filing a lien on the GC or Owner. We began work in December of 2022 and are close to the 120 day deadline. The work is being done on townhomes and on a Time & Materials basis. A GC has contracted us to preform repairs on specific units incurring water intrusion but has been quiet in regards to payment. Different units were done at different times so I assume the 120 day deadline is reliant on specific units and not the project as a whole. Any advice is appreciated. Thank You!
