Massachusetts law provides for a form notice with which an owner or contractor may record that the project is substantially complete. The property owner must provide a copy of the notice by certified mail to every person who has filed a notice of contract and the contractor must provide a copy to every person who has entered into a written contract directly with the contractor and every person who has given written notice of identification to the contractor.
