I want to get the owner's name and lender

I need to get the name of the owner and the lender because the GC not provided it to me, and I need to do the preliminary notice. previously you provided it to me. when I filled the preliminary notice I said that I did not know that information and I got the option it I want to pay so that you could find it for me but now that option no longer appears to me. I would like to know if the document is equally valid without the owners name and the lender name because they will not be notified?

The owner's name is crucial on a California 20-day preliminary notice. If there's a lender on the project, that lender must be included as well. And, if neither the owner nor the lender (if a construction lender is present) is notified, then the preliminary notice will likely not be effective. If the GC is refusing to provide you with the info you need to send a preliminary notice, it could be useful to remind them that's illegal. § 8208 of the California Civil Code requires direct contractors provide the name of the property owner and the name of the construction lender (if applicable). This article is useful for finding owner information: How to Find the Property Owner on a Construction Project. And, if you're interested in using Levelset to find that information, you can always begin creating a document here, or you can contact Levelset here.
