Legal Question in Construction Law in New Jersey

Re: construction liens

If the work was done on private property in NJ, a lien can be filed with the county recorder of deeds (usually the county clerk) within 90 days of the last work performed or materials provided. The time ends based on the contracted work and is not extended by warranty service.

The lien form is not technical but if you have not filed a lien before and if the amount is large, you may want to have your attorney do the work. My firm handles matters of this type, however it may be easier for you to work with a lawyer whose office is closer to you.

Re: construction liens

I have read what the other attorney wrote. There are other time limits that also apply.

Most of the time, when contractors ask this question, the time to take action has LONG since passed.

I would be happy to assist you. You probably will end up suing the homeowner. I could do that for you.

If you would like me to assist, please call my office. I am in Hackensack. A half hour consultation will be $75.00. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.
