Mechanics Lien
New York
My dad got into an argument with a contractor that orchard a peeved of land across the street from his house. The contractor was doing constructing without permits and leaving trash and debris all over the place, creating an eyesore, safety issues, parking difficulty etc. My dad reported the construction without permits and the police and other authorities shut the site down. The next day my dad got a one page typed notice of mechanics lien from this contractor claiming tortuous interference causing damages of 300k. I doubt it's real, it sounds like BS to me and paper terrorism (found that term online). I would think this prices to file a mechanics lien on my dad's house is more difficult than some stranger putting a note in his mailbox over being pissed my dad had him shut down for building without permits.
New YorkHello,
A garageman lien was place on my vehicle AFTER a lawsuit was filed against the mechanic for a bad repair job.

I proceeded to file a lawsuits and now he has placed a garageman lien agains me. Way can I do about it? Please help, this isn’t fair.

New YorkHi. I received a Notice of Mechanic's Lien from my contractor. Public record indicates an Index Number has not been issued. Do I still have an option to resolve this dispute outside of court?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

New YorkI am a licensed Construction Superintendent doing Safety inspections on job sites. I visit each job that I have signed a PW2 ( allows client to get a work permit. ) Five days a week I visit the job site and write a report that is then put in the job site log to verify I had been there . If the NYC DOB
stops by they want to see the log and that it has been kept up. I receive a monthly fee for this. Because the client was having financial problems, rather than release my name from the records NYC, ( then job receives a stop work order ) I continued visiting to help him out. Four months later he was far enough along where the building dept. did not require him to have a Const. Supt. any longer . since then no payments towards the debt.
New YorkTo make sure I'm filling out each section of the mechanics lien properly with the correct information, is there a step by step guide that explains each question and what goes in each section to answer all of the questions? This is for form A365. Thank you! If you're not a lawyer, some of the terminology is confusing and I don't want to input the wrong information where it would make my lien become invalidated
New YorkI am licensed to do Home Improvements in NY, but I have a problem with a client that signed a Home Staging contract with me and did not pay rent on the furniture for over 6 months and his property is about to close sales. We did not sign the standard contract required by the DCA for home improvement, we signed my company's Home Staging Rental Agreement.

New YorkI fabricated some railing in NYC, I was paid a deposit, they took the railings and installed on a commercial building (i know the address, and the GC who paid them, apparently the GC owes them a balance also) I have not been able to collect my balance from anyone at this point, can we file a lien on the property?

New YorkHello,
I had a contract with a contractor for three months who starred to rebuild my home due to a fire in mid June 2020 he supposed to finish in mid September, it’s January 2021 and the house is incomplete every time I speak to him he have some excuse is always something he never give a straight answer he always putting things off he always be lying for weeks, weeks he did not do no work. I’m not sure what to do, so on January 16 he supposed to turn out to work and that’s after a few weeks not doing anything he did not January 17 he did not.
So I finally got courage and told him he is no longer needed. After I said that he called 311 and report us that we have illegal electrical hook up and we don’t have permits BTW he was responsible of getting the mechanical permit and we had all of our permits. He was responsible for getting the mechanical permit he did not but he install all the HVAC system without permit he had the walls closed up without plumbing inspections
And there’s so much more, but the worst part is that he won and Farah mechanical lien against the property for $100,000
