What does Construction Lien Law allow?

Construction Lien Law is designed to protect the rights of those who contribute labor or materials to a construction project by allowing them to place a lien on the property where the work was performed. The primary purpose of these liens is to secure payment for unpaid work or materials supplied, essentially ensuring that contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers have a method to claim compensation when it is due.

The option indicating liens on real property for unpaid professional services aligns perfectly with the objectives of Construction Lien Law. It recognizes that individuals or businesses providing professional services, such as architects or contractors, are entitled to compensation for their contributions to a project. If payment is not received, they can file a lien against the real property, which can potentially prevent the property owner from selling or refinancing until the debt is settled.

Other options touch on different aspects of property and compensation, but they do not align directly with the specific provisions of Construction Lien Law. For instance, liens on personal property or neighboring properties are not typically covered under this law, as it specifically pertains to real property where the work was performed. Likewise, liens for employee wages fall under labor law regulations, not Construction Lien Law.
