From a lawyer: Mechanics Liens (New York State)

[BB Liu]

Hi BP community.

I am a relatively new real estate investor, but I have been a full-time attorney (litigator) for almost a  decade.  I am about to start my first flip, and had done research into what to do if a mechanics lien was filed against my property.  This 2-page article was the single best source of information I found, and I wanted to share it with the BP community:  www.thsh.com/documents/s-Liens.pdf

It was published in the New York Law Journal, which is basically the daily lawyers' newspaper in NYS, and it sets forth the legal options for the homeowner if a mechanics lien has been filed.
