I am a maintenance technician for a tax credit apartment building. Part-time position was what I was hired for and a couple of months into the job a maintenance technician from 2 other properties managed by the company we worked for decided to quit. The property manager I work for asked me to do some work on the other properties. So I thought I would be a team player and help. So the first project was carpet in an entire townhouse roughly 700 sq ft. I provided the carpet,seam tape and fuel back and forth which is a 90 mile round trip. I've provided 19 lbs of r22 freon several tstats and plenty of plumbing supplies etc... I provided the property manager with proper invoices for the materials and labor. Each item description of the unit used on and specifically detailed information on why I was charging them. So my property manager then tells me that they will not pay me back for the materials used to make the repairs. These properties are tax credit or 55+ low income housing and the residents have been asked to go without ac during 100° weather. What are my options for being repaid for my materials and labor? I've already spoken with the property manager about this and that's a dead end....Read More

We completed work on an apartment pool. The work was done well but client came back with multiple punch lists. We addressed all of there concerns and went above and beyond to ensure they were satisfied. After having outside corporate trainer visit and address concerns they notified corporate that they did not wish to continue to work with us and would only talk with product manufacturer. After making multiple efforts to move forward we eventually opted to file a lien. When we where gathering information for the lien I visited there website and found 11 pictures of completed project being used to market the apartments while they claim work was unsatisfactory. ...Read More
We sent the Notice of Intent to File on 10/21/22. Per the USPS tracking, it's been sitting in Denver and not delivered. Can we file the Mechanic's Lien if she has not received the Notice to File? She refused to give us her email address and flat out said she wasn't going to pay. I am worried that she will be selling soon, I know the home is currently for sale and I heard they have a contract that is pending....Read More
I'm a Sub contractor doing work (boring and pulling fiber) for another Sub on an AT&T project. We completed our work last month and have been unable to get the sub contractor that hired us to pay. We are currently trying to file a Mechanics lien and have submitted red-lined prints to the levelset research team, showing exactly where we preformed work but I'm being told that they cant find the exact legal description for this project, nor can they find the bond. Can you please advise as to how I'd go about finding this information or if I can file the Lien effectively without the legal description and/or bond information. ...Read More
damage was coves very common Roof is complete in August but roofing company is still working with insurance company to get the damaged walls approved in the same claim.
Walls were eventually approved but then the insured decided to keep the money instead of putting into too, .
Insurance company is dragging their heals forever on the walls because they dont want to pay. Now the customer wants to keep the last satlellite money instead, and making excuses llke he doenst have to pay us now.
Make matters worse the carrier is being impossible to get the final RCV amount because we didnt put the the same type of roof on that it had before which no carrier has ever done before. All these delays jumping through hoops has put us outside the dates to file a lien. I think, however we had a missing piece of the gutter that we had to take out last month. Does that constitute still working or what do you suggest please?
Thanks,
Kyle Roberson
