There is nothing stopping your Mom's boyfriend from recording a lien on the property. But most likely the lien would be invalid and unenforceable as assuming he did more than $500 worth of work and the work was construction work requiring a license, he is barred by B&P section 7031(a) from pursuing a claim for payment.
