$500K Mechanics Lien for Design-Builder on Multi-Family Project

We recorded a $500,000 mechanics lien related to a comprehensive renovation of a multi-family residential building in a major metropolitan area. Our engagement was undertaken for a design-build firm known for its expertise in revitalizing urban properties and creating modern living spaces. The project encompassed extensive renovations to both common areas and individual residential units, requiring not just architecture and engineering, but coordination and management of various subcontractors and trades. The mechanics lien was strategically crafted to protect our client’s financial interests while respecting the Mechanics Lien Act framework surrounding multi-family properties. Our goal is always early, cost-efficient dispute resolution, so we were happy to settle the claim and collect the past due sum without the need for our design-builder client to have to file a lawsuit.
