What are the rules in Washington State when you send a preliminary notice to GC and owner late?
WashingtonMy company LDM CONSTRUCTION provided NEW 3,539 SQ.FT. "WARM SHELL" BUILDING WITH 3 UNITS - NEW 290 SQ.FT. REFUSE AREA - NEW ACCESSIBLE RAMP FROM BARROW ST. - NEW ACCESSIBLE PARKING - NEW MONUMENT SIGN - NEW PARKING LOT LIGHTS - REPLACE CURB CUTS WITH SIDEWALKS . The completion was delayed from 2/28/20 until 6/15/2021 due to PG&E Delay. The Owner losts about $12,000 of rent due to this delay. The owner still owes LDM CONSTRUCTION $75,000. Now, the owner doesn't want to pay us this amount. Do we still have the RIGHT TO FILE FOR A MECHANICAL LIEN IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA? my name is Kathy Truong cell#: 408-607-5094.

WashingtonWe did work on a septic system on 11/11/20 and haven't been paid. Is it too late to file a lien? Thanks
MinnesotaPrecast panels are being installed without owners approval, they are also damaged. A mockup of the Precast Panels are also required by the contract specifications for review as per specification section Exterior Stone Cladding 044200.F.1. Mockups are also required prior to starting corresponding work, fabrication or construction as per Quality Requirements 041000.K.L. Installation of the precast panels continue and the CM team has not received a date of when the mockup will be ready for review. This construction activity is not in compliance with the contract specifications and is at the full risk of Forrester Construction. Contractor proceed to do the installation without the Mockups. The Court told them to provide the Mockups and remove all damaged panels. He is claiming that will fix them after the job is finished.
Washington DCHi, I'm a home owner in Los Angeles County (California) and trying to refinance my 1st mortgage. The lender has done research and found a lien on my title from the Geology company ("Action Geotechnical Consultants"). I have never heard of this company and the lender has provided only a name for me at this time, no contact info. I could not pay them even if I wanted to. The County offices are closed for 'covid' and their online services are hard to navigate...What can I do?? Thanks, Dan
CaliforniaI received a Notice to Owner from the tile supplier my contractor chose to use on my home project. The NTO came after the 45 day window, but before the 90 Lien claim window. Does this make the lien invalid because it was after the 45 day NTO window, or should I still be concerned? Final payment to the contractor has not been paid as the project is still ongoing.
FloridaA water mitigation company that does work NOT requiring contractor license, sent CA Preliminary Notice stating they provided materials n labor for "building, structure or other work of improvement" in the amount of $40000. All they did was suck up water n leave drying machines. Can I hold them to it n claim they didn't use Home Improvement Contract? They are sticking me with inflated invoice and threatening to lien. I've read about water mitigation scams and inflated invoices and looking for options.
CaliforniaA sub filed a NTO due to not being paid for a drywall job that we had to call another sub in to refinish. We do not owe them money due to someone else having to redo this job. What are our options, other than negotiating an amount to pay them to clear the NTO?
FloridaDo you file a Notice of Lease (Preliminary Notice) with the Clerk of Court where the immovable property is located? Or can I simply mail the Notice of Lease to the property owner and Contractor?
LouisianaMy mom was getting car financed and she died and now im making payments on car without any paper work. I had it fixed and a kein was put on jt
TexasWe have paid $220,000 and still have $67,000 to go. The GC did not provide us the DISCLOSURE STATEMENT REQUIRED FOR RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT. We did not know about Statutory Retainage and thus have not been withholding. How do I make up for this? I thought lien waivers up to this point from all subs and we would withhold 10% from this point forward. Or if will not provide lien waivers (pretty sure he will not) can we do 50% on the next 3 draws and 10% on each draw following... this would end with 10% of the contract price being retainage by the end of the build.
TexasMy Florida homebuilder had not completed our house after more than a year after start of construction, so we fired him. There was also a lien on the property for roofing materials, an NTO from another sub, and he was demanding payment for unfounded/unsubstantiated invoices. As the direct contractor, does he have to serve me with a Notice to Owner before filing a lien on my property? If not, does he have a time limit for filing?
FloridaI have a filed pelim. Date ordered is 4.13.21 . recorded on may 20th. I need to update the address of general contractor. Am I still within my lien rights if I amend the address and it changes the date? We are running on a line rope with this job. I do not want any hiccups or interruptions . What should I do? General contractor is asking for a correction on their address.
