City Lien Questionnaire on Public Improvement

A mechanic's lien on a city job must be filed with the New York City Department of Finance or the city authority within 30 days from the completion and acceptance of the project by the city agency. To file your lien, fill out this lien questionnaire and hit “send form”. You will be requested to enter your credit card information on a secure site, and be billed $385, calculated as follows: $350 - attorney's fee; $35 - filing fee.

WARNING!

Payment Bonds on Public City jobs have strict deadlines to file a Notice of Claim, and commence a lawsuit against the Surety Bonding Company. A mechanic's lien does not constitute a Notice of Claim. Do not lose your rights under the Payment Bond. If you need assistance with a Payment Bond Claim, call my office at (212) 226-1234.
