What is the step after filing a lien?

California

About 10 moths ago, I filed a Lien on a residential house in CA and I didn't get paid yet. What is the step should I take after filing a lien?

It sounds like your lien has already expired. You need to perfect your lien by filing a lawsuit to foreclose the lien within 90 days of the lien recording date or the lien will expire. However, if the project is still on-going and has not yet passed final inspection, then you may be able to file a 2nd lien on the property which would start the 90 day period running from that new date. I’m happy to answer any questions you have about this.
