[quote=UCGal]Did you ever get served preliminary notices from the subs when they started? By certified mail? If not, you are probably free and clear.
The sub has to serve a 20 day notice… if they serve it after work has started (or stopped) it can only look back 20 days total.
Since your work was complete 12/11, and it is now 1/27/12, it’s probably past the look back period.
When we had issues we got several threats of liens. A quick phone call stating that a prelim notice hadn’t been filed or was filed too late was enough to make the subs liens go away.
