How can you put a lien on home in New York?

To put a lien on a home in New York, the first step is to file a Notice of Lien with the county clerk's office where the property is located. The notice must contain the following information:

* The name of the person who is filing the lien (the lienor)

* The name of the person who owns the home (the homeowner)

* The amount of money that is owed

* A description of the work or services that were performed

* The dates that the work or services were performed

* The address of the home that is being liened

Step 2: Serve the Notice of Lien on the Homeowner

Once the Notice of Lien has been filed, it must be served on the homeowner. This can be done by personally delivering a copy of the notice to the homeowner or by sending it to them by certified mail, return receipt requested. The notice must be served within 30 days of filing it with the county clerk's office.

Step 3: File a Lis Pendens

If the homeowner does not pay the amount of money that is owed within 30 days of being served with the Notice of Lien, the lienor can file a Lis Pendens. A Lis Pendens is a notice that is filed with the county clerk's office that lets the world know that there is a lawsuit pending against the property. This will make it difficult for the homeowner to sell or refinance the property.

Step 4: Foreclose on the Home

If the homeowner still does not pay the amount of money that is owed, the lienor can foreclose on the home. This means that the lienor can sell the home to satisfy the debt. In order to foreclose on the home, the lienor must file a lawsuit against the homeowner.

* Types of Liens There are two types of liens that can be filed: mechanics liens and judgment liens. A mechanics lien is a lien that is filed by a contractor or subcontractor who has performed work on a home and has not been paid. A judgment lien is a lien that is filed by a court when a person is ordered to pay money to another person.

* Priority of Liens Liens are given priority based on the date they are filed. This means that a lien that is filed first will have priority over a lien that is filed later.
