For NJ, I received an arbitration award on a construction lien today (but it was dated 3/3/21). The last day I worked on the property was 12/4/2020. 90 days from that date (the deadline to file a lien) is 3/4/21. Am I too late to file it? I am a subcontractor hired by a general contractor to do the work. The general contractor never paid. The claim is against the owner/property correct? Not the general contractor/property. The form asks for who the contract is with and who the claimant is against....Read More

We are a remediation company. We did work about a year ago for client. Public adjuster on file. Insurance paid rebuild estimate to PA & Client. Our remediation estimates have not been paid as of yet. We have been advised to speak with insurance adjusters. This is a condo unit. There is a home owners insurance company for the insured & then Home Owners Association company. I sent all info to both company's, but the HOA is not paying till she sees our drying logs. Even without drying logs they should still be paying us for work we did, just not as many days drying as we requested. Is this correct? What are next steps? Can I speak to an attorney? & are these general attorneys or are they specialized in this field....Read More

As a subcontractor we installed a traffic signal for GC who was contracted to build a new chain grocery store. The grocery store owner was required to install and pay for traffic signal by county. However once accepted by the county they will maintain the traffic signal, which is located on CR541, Burlington Twp., Burlington Co., New Jersey. Would this be deemed a public or private project. We would like to file a NJ Mechanic Lien but have not sent a preliminary notice. We are at 85 days since last working on project so if its deemed public we are out of time. ...Read More
