A New York Order Continuing Mechanics Lien is a legal right to secure payment for work performed on a property. This lien can be placed on the property itself and can remain in effect until payment is made. This type of lien is usually used by contractors or material suppliers who have provided labor or materials for a construction project but have not yet been paid. There are two types of New York Order Continuing Mechanics Lien: direct liens and indirect liens. A direct lien is placed on the property itself and can be enforced when the property is sold or transferred. An indirect lien is placed on the property, but the lien is transferred to the party who is responsible for paying the debt. This type of lien is often used when the original contractor has gone out of business or is unable to pay the debt. Both types of liens are subject to the New York Mechanics Lien Law, which outlines the requirements for filing and enforcing the lien. The process can be complicated, so it is important to consult with a knowledgeable attorney before proceeding.
