Mechanics lien filed Feb 27th 2020 for a single family home in NY has expired.

New York

We did work for a management company on a single family home in their network that refused to pay because of an admitted internal error of approval on their part. The job was completed, the management company was notified but no payment. The original amount owed was $17,000.01 of which they offered $6,000 of which prior to the lien being recorded we refused. At this juncture the lien seems to be expired. Do we have an option to renew or extend the lien? How do we go about enforcing the lien?

The time to renew the lien as expired. that had to be done within a year. Absent additional facts, it appears that the time to file a lien has also expired. You may wish to retain counsel to try and revive the lien or to just sue for breach of contract. Either way, you probably need to consult a lawyer and show the lawyer the documents and provide more detail.
