Can I files a mechanics lien?
PennsylvaniaI'm a material supplier and we delivered our last piece of material on 9/23/20. We have not been paid, and need to know if we have a right to lien the project, it has been over 6 months. Or does the 6 month clock start when the GC issues a jobsite completion notice? What if we did not receive a completion notice? There has been an 83k lien against this property by someone else. We are located in CA, jobsite was in PA.

I concur with Mr. Quinter. Although your rights to lien the project have expired, Pennsylvania's CASPA (https://www.levelset.com/news/pennsylvania-contractors-and-subcontractors-payment-act/) enables justified claimants to collect all improperly withheld payments plus interest plus penalty plus attorney's fees. CASPA was enacted to assist suppliers and subcontractors in your precise situation. You should consult a PA construction attorney who understands how to utilize the law to get you results. https://www.vaughanbaio.com/attorneys/colin-m-schmitt/
