Lien Clock runs.

No preliminary notice on most private jobs

New York is famous for this: no statutory 20-day preliminary notice on ordinary private work. The mechanic’s lien must still be filed within four months (residential) or eight months (commercial) after last work. We serve a courtesy notice and calendar that filing like a clock.
