I'm a homeowner whose GC did not obtain written change orders from his grading subcontractor even though his contract required all changes be in writing. Those charges are in dispute & no prelim notice was sent. Sub-contractor subsequently sent a preliminary notice 12+ months into the project for a second contract on another phase of the job; that prelim has scope of work & price clearly specified. Sub has been paid in full for the 2nd contract covered by the prelim. Sub has now falsely filed a Claim of Mechanics Lien for the contested T&M invoices using the "new" Preliminary notice that was specific to the 2nd contract. All contested work predates the P.N. by more than 20 days. The invoice amount noted on Mechanics Lien is more than double the amount on the prelim and in no way related to that work. Can we stop the Mechanics Lien from being recorded if the amount specified on the Preliminary notice has been paid in full? (Our GC is undergoing cancer treatment.)
