CaliforniaMechanics Lien
Quick question. I just had an ADU built (conversion of a garage to a 2 bedroom living dwelling). I read California has a 1 year warranty period (as well as 4 year and 10 year for structure). Although this was not listed in my initial warranty, I wanted to make sure if there is a repair needed (on this new construction) within the first year, that it should be absolutely covered by the Contractor. Thank you,...Read More

This is regarding a Lien that was filed on 7/12/22 and Levelset said it was to expire on 10/07/22, but had requested a lien extension on 9/27/22. We received an email from Levelset on 10/02/22 stating they were missing some info but that they were going to send it out anyway. As of today, it has not been sent, we called in to check on the status and it seems they were still waiting on us to respond and it is now scheduled to go out tomorrow. We were unaware of this delay and now it is passed the lien expiration date, so will this lien extension even be valid? Are we still protected with this lien?...Read More
