Notice of Completion
All States
We build swimming pools and as the general contractor take out the building permit for the project. Five months ago the project was completed as far as construction was concerned. However, the renter at the building project has not allowed the city inspector to make a final inspection for the job. Does this fact play the project in "not completed" which would allow use to lien his property, or would the final work on the project be the determining date.
CaliforniaWe are a General Contractor hired by tenants to remodel retail stores. We trying to determine if the tenant or the property owner (generally in a mall) should sign the Notice of Completion in CA.
CaliforniaTypically, we work as a subcontractor on construction projects in California. Our work is usually completed at the beginning of the job. This means we may have months go by after our work before the full job is completed. All the while, there may be some money owed to us waiting until the end of the job. Especially retainage. We often are moved onto other projects pretty quickly and this money can start to pile up. It's hard to keep track. While mechanics lien rights could be useful to us, we don't know when notices of completion are filed, and therefore, when our lien rights window opens/closes. What are some best practices for us here? And can sending preliminary notice help?
CaliforniaI am a sub-sub on a commercial project in CA. Originally, I put in my last day on the job to trigger the lien deadline, but now that's two days away and I'm not sure if I should wait to see if there's been substantial completion or if the Notice of Completion has been filed. I don't want to file the lien too early and damage my relationship with the GC, but if I wait to hear and they never tell me, I don't want to be left unprotected.
CaliforniaIn Tennessee, can an owner who is paying cash to their contractor move into the new house before getting the notice of completion? We have problems noted by a home inspector and also a mold inspector. We are 16 months into a 9 month contract. The builder is breach of contract and his negligence caused the problems and mold.
TennesseeThe California lien deadlines say that if a notice of completion or cessation was filed, the lien deadline is shortened to 60 days from the date such notice was filed. We are a restoration company that sends a notice of completion to the insurance company, but they don't "file" it anywhere, nor does anyone else. Does sending the notice alone shorten the deadline?
CaliforniaA preliminary notice was given, but we have know idea if a notice of completion was done. Looking at clerks recorder office a notice of completion was filed but I do not know how to tell if it is our site.
CaliforniaWe have performed work on a commercial building in Lake County< IL.
1. Notice of lien rights was not served upon beginning work.
2. Additional work was performed more than 4 months after the original contract work was completed, but less than 90 days of completion.
3. Are we still within the 90-day period to provide notice of lien rights, including notice of intent to lien?
Section 6 of Illinois 60 Mechanics Lien Act stipulates, "...work done or material furnished within 5 years from the commencement of said work..."
Section 7 stipulates, "...unless within 4 months after completion, or if extra or additional work is done..." and continues with, "...within 4 months after the completion of such extra or additional work...bring an action to enforce his lien..." "...Such claim for lien may be filed at any time after the claiman's contract is made...and within 2 years after the completion of the contract...or any extra work."
IllinoisI have done business with regular contractor's and filed prevailing wages. Now we are doing a job for a Hospital, do I still need their DIR Number to file with the State. hey hired us before we could do any preliminary filling - no DS140 or DS142. How should I proceed to be in compliance?
CaliforniaWe're the GC in Illinois for a project in the state of CA. The project started 11.26.18 and completed in 04.24.19. We did not file a Notice of Commencement.
CaliforniaWe have rarely ever received Notices of Completion at the end of a job, even when we send a preliminary notice which formally requests it. Is our timeline to file a lien still shortened to 30 days even if we don't receive a copy of the Notice of Completion? What if the property owner files a Notice of Completion but does not send us a copy and we file a lien after the 30 days but within the 90 days - is our lien still valid?
CaliforniaI have a question regarding the notice of completion.
The final inspection was done just a few days ago.
My question is, how could I possibly provide a copy of the recorded NOC to all potential lien claimants if I don't know who they are?
Would it be sufficient to express mail it to just my GC?
If I don't send it to all the subcontractors, do I still get protected from them filing a lien after 30 days?
My property is located in San Luis Obispo County, CA.
I called the County Recorder office to ask about the Notice of Completion
filing procedure and processing fee. At first, they didn't know what kind of form it was, had no idea about the form's purpose, then the calculated the charge of over $100.00, then they said that it takes 3-4 weeks to process.
It makes me a little nervous,
please advise,
thank you so much!
CaliforniaI have passed all final inspections, and the owner holds the balance, I have sent him a notice of intent to lien, but he still does not want to pay. Do I need to send him a notice of completion before I file Mechanics Lien to the owner? Thanks,
CaliforniaWe obtained C of O 4/1/19 for a project in Austin. Should we still file a NOC now and how does that impact lien rights of our subcontractors? I just asked a similar question about the Affidavit of Completion.
TexasCofO was issued on 4/1/19 for a self storage project in Austin, TX that we were the general contractor on. Is it in our best interest to still file the Affidavit of Completion now? Do I use the 4/1/19 date for the completion date?
