We did a project in 2017 and have still not been paid. Is liening the project an option still? Thanks.

The deadline to file a New York mechanics lien depends on the type of project. The general rule is that a lien claim must be filed within 8 months from completion of the contract or the last date labor or materials were furnished to the project. However, if the project is a single-family residential property, the deadline to file is reduced to just 4 months from completion of the contract or the last date labor or materials were furnished to the project. If the project in question was completed in 2017, the time for mechanics liens has passed.
