The notice may be filed at any time during the progress of the work and the furnishing of the materials, or, within eight months after the completion of the contract, or the final performance of the work, or the final furnishing of the materials. Assignment of Lien - New York law permits a party to assign a lien using a written form signed and acknowledged by the lien holder. Discharge of Lien - New York law permits a lien, other than a lien for public improvements, to be discharged by the issuing of a certificate, duly acknowledged by the lien holder and filed in the office where the notice of lien was filed. Demand for Itemized Statement - A property owner or contractor may issue a written demand using this form that the party who filed a notice of lien statement provide an itemized statement of labor and/or material provided, including the value or cost of said labor and materials. The lien holder is required to respond with an itemized statement within five (5) days, or the owner or contractor may petition the court to order such a statement to be produced. Failure to respond to the order of the court may result in the nullification of the lien. Itemized Statement - A property owner or contractor may issue a written demand that the party who filed a notice of lien statement provide an itemized statement of labor and/or material provided, including the value or cost of said labor and materials.

TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (“.pdf” format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer. They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by hand. It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button and the form fields will be visible. By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner. IV.
