I have filled a mechanics lien

IllinoisMechanics Lien

I finished a job and sent a NOI to the client as well as site and the building management has sent me a letter stating that what I am doing is illegal and fraudulent. The Contractor has canceled the work order.

Generalky, if you were a subcontractor and timely and properly served the Notice of Intent to record a Lien, due to non-payment, then you are complying with the statute. Absent payment you then have to prepare and record the lien to perfect your rights. It is not clear what you mean by the contractor canceled the work order. From your description it would be best to review with an attorney.

When did that occur? Was there originally a signed contract and was the work performed consistent with the contract which constituted an improvement to the property? Then you have Lien rights arising from non-payment. You must timely serve based on when work completed.

The reasons for why the work order was canceled is not clear. You should consult with an attorney to make certain your interests are protected.
