Washington DC
GC's payment is late by over 90 days, Project has been completed.
Washington DCOur company did a job for a client that had damage to his apartment . This damage clean up was approved by his property manager that had got approval from there corporate office. The corporate office gave the customer a credit on his rent for his inconvenience and agreed to pay for the clean up to our company. When we gave the invoice to the customer to pay we found out he had taken the check that the corporate office sent him to pay us and had cashed it and spent the money . The customer claims he can not pay the invoice because he no longer has the money. How can I get paid for this job?

Washington DCWe have a project in West Virginia, supply a lot of structural. I am concerned about payment.
Washington DCThe 90 day mark is today. Is it possible to file the lien today?
Washington DCI invoiced a company for a $2000.00 progress payment for demolition, until the job starts. They say, they have the check ready to mail out but need/want me to sign a final affidavit and waiver form. I dont feel good about this document. Things can get hectic moving forward with a tricky owner
I feel like I should confront the company about this waiver because its titled, "final affidavit and waiver", it vaguely states the time period, "and through the date there of", and has misleading context.
Washington DCWe need the landlord to fund the final installment of the tenant improvement allowance but in order to do so, we need to deliver final lien waivers from all contractors. The contractors are willing to deliver final lien waivers in advance of final payment but is that enforceable in Washington, DC?
Washington DCHallo.
I'm a student, and I have been handed an assignment on concurrent delays. How would it be determined who receives compensation in the end? The main contractor(A), the subcontractor(B) or the employer(C)?
Because if A is to receive a penalty, but then states that B caused that penalty, and therefor the penalty should be deducted from the compensation to B. B however then states that the delay was caused by the owner and the shortage of material as well as having to wait for confirmation from A to install the available material.
Not really from Washington DC...I'm from South Africa
Washington DCBack in 2015 my mom had a retaining wall in front of her house replaced and it is beginning to crack. I checked the contract and it states there is a 5 year "workmanship warranty". My mom has been calling the contractor for about 6 months to a year telling him she sees cracks forming but he tells her to look into other issues like street vibration issues that has previously affected the past walls stability.
He won't even come look at it
I am fed up with how he is handling this and looking into the contract to see what he actually "owes" us and if he is supposed to fix it, I will step in and if he does not, I will look into legal actions.
I am trying to find out my options
Washington DCWhat is considered permanent improvement/mechanic lien protection? We have Service Calls and Preventative Maintenance works for one owner. All properties locate at DC. The invoices the owner owe us include monthly Preventative Maintenance Agreement Billings, and individual Service Calls. Can we file mechanic lien for the unpaid invoices? How to consider these invoices as jobs when filing mechanic lien? i.e. Can all the unpaid service call invoices and monthly Preventative Maintenance Agreement billings for one single property be considered as one job to file one lien?
Washington DCWe have a customer that I'm trying to enter in as a New Project but they will not provide the address to where the work is being completed because it is a Public Federal job. They are saying that the address is confidential. How can we preserve our lien rights if we cannot enter the address?
Washington DCWe were trying to sub out a job and the subcontractor said he was gonna show up and complete and he never did then shows up for two hours we asked him for his new subcontractor forms(direct deposit, W9) and he leaves the property when we asked.. We agreed to pay him for the 2 hours worth of work for materials which he asked for, but then started threatening us for payment but this never gave us a W9, direct deposit or any other forms. I don’t even have an address.. He’s a huge SCAM we’re asking for his paperwork so we can send payment and he’s refusing.. SMH who does that!!! Crazy now he’s threatening to put a lien on a property that he didn’t complete any work on and we have no Photos for $600.00
Washington DCI cannot renew my license in time to file a lien on a unit I performed work on. The particular unit is scheduled for settlement. However, they have at least two other units up for sale.
