We are a small General Contractor in San Francisco Bay Area, we were in contract with Specialty's Cafe & Baker, to remodel restaurant in San Francisco California. Job was $615,000 we received 1 progress payment of $105,000. with balance due of $510,000. We were two weeks from being complete, when were informed that due to Covid 19 shelter in place, they were closing their doors on all 55 of their restaurants will not to reopen. They filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. We filed Mechanics Lien on building they are tenant in. Landlord wants a lien free building, we are in discussions with them to see what can be done to close out permit. They may possibly pay partial?? Is there any recourse with landlord?? Do we have to remove lien if we don't get paid?? How can a large corporation just walk away owing so much money with no recourse?? They claim they owe 1,000 vendors, with only 50,000 in assets, but owe between 1 million and 10 million dollars. (we know they owed us $510,000 on this job) Are we at the mercy of the Landlord?? We had completed a remodel for same customer in February 2020 and they owe us Final Retention Balance of $29,000, we filed Mechanics Lien on that one too. We are sending paperwork to Landlord to see what can be done?? Do we have to remove Mechanics Lien if we don't get paid??
