The defendant property owner moved under the Construction Act to vacate and discharge a construction lien and certificate of action registered by a subcontractor against the subject property.
The subcontractor had performed window installation work on a condominium project and claimed its last supply date was March 14, 2025, when a worker attended the property to replace a glass pane broken during insulation removal by another party.
The court found that the subcontractor's substantive work had been completed before February 2025, that the March 2025 attendance was minor remedial repair work that did not constitute a lienable supply extending the preservation period, and that the lien was therefore registered outside the mandatory 60-day window.
The motion was granted and the lien and certificate of action were discharged and vacated, with costs of $4,000 awarded to the moving party.
