Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Building and Safety put a lean on a property that I own without my knowledge. The house is under construction, didn't work on it for three years, and obviously I don't leave there. Somebody dumped trash, city cleaned up and put a lien on it. No notification or summon, although my address is on the very paper they filled. They are expecting me to pay in spite of the fact that there were no notifications from them, and all happened two and a half years ago. Do I really have to pay this lien?

Thank you,

Felix.

You probably do. You don't state which city the property is in, so it is hard to determine which cities' rules apply to you. Leaving trash in a vacant yard over time creates a fire hazard, and a risk to other properties.
