Mechanic's Liens in New York is rising and most do not know what a mechanic's lien is. A Mechanic's Lien also known as a Construction Liens is to protect contractors, subcontractor and suppliers from not getting paid for the work they have done. It has come to our attention that New York city has a lot of contractors and most hire subcontractors to take care of their projects in construction. Many owners of buildings and homes in New York always love to upgrade their homes and end up hiring all these architects and general contractors to do all the work for them. But there are some issues that rise later after the work has been finished. Usually the general contractor ends up hiring contractors, subcontractors and buy supplies. Who falls in these categories? Laborers, carpenters, electrician, mechanical/HVAC contractors and plumbers working on the project site.
Plumbing Supply houses, and electrical suppliers also fall in this category. Lumber yards are also included here. More often there are projects that are finished and the general contractor does not pay the contractors or the subcontractors, which leaves them with no money to pay their own suppliers and employees. This is where the law comes in. To protect small companies or individuals from losing their money for the supplies and the labor they just performed. Mechanic's Liens protects contractors, subcontractors and suppliers from losing a lot of money when the general contractors, architects or home owners does not pay for your time and supplies. You have the option to put a lien on that job site or property.

Even if the owner has paid the general contractor, but the general contractor did not pay the subcontractors or suppliers, they (contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers) have the option to put a lien on the property (job site).
